The Young Vanish perform music from the Lost In Translation motion picture soundtrack
Released 21 years ago, Sofia Coppola’s ‘Lost In Translation’ is an adored cinematic masterpiece – beautiful, melancholic, often funny, occasionally problematic, and back on Netflix. Equally masterful is the soundtrack album, re-released as an expanded Record Store Day edition this year, and a major contributor to the resurgence of the shoegaze genre.
Built around tracks from Kevin Shields and My Bloody Valentine, other artists include Air, Death In Vegas, Squarepusher and Phoenix, with critics referring to the soundtrack as the third star of the film. For many people, Just Like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain will forever be linked to the question of what Bob says to Charlotte in the final scene of the film.
For this performance, The Young Vanish are taking on the not-inconsiderable challenge of recreating this modern classic as a genre-defying live performance. Spanning acoustic fragility through to full-spectrum wall-of-sound, tracks will be treated with a mix of reverence and reinterpretation to create an unmissable, one-off show.
