WE STOOD LIKE KINGS - Away [2022]

Piano-based instrumental post-rockers We Stood Like Kings from Brussels have beenaround for over a decade now. They have released four albums and toured Europeextensively, rescoring silent movies and revisiting classical music in a heartfelt attempt atbreathing new life into masterworks of other art forms. The albums BERLIN 1927, USSR1926 and USA 1982 form a vibrant cinematic trilogy of new live scores for silent cultmovies, a field in which the band has become a reference on the European scene. Afterthe release of the CLASSICAL RE:WORKS project, on which We Stood Like Kings takea fresh look at classical music from the Baroque to the 20th century, the band goes back tocinema with a new live soundtrack project dedicated to the recent silent 3D animationmovie Away by the young Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis.The AWAY 2019 project is the daring meeting between We Stood Like Kings’ music – nowrefined, textural, then epic and intense: think Pink Floyd, Chopin and Mogwai all mixed-up– and Gints Zilbalodis’ first feature film, an exceptional cinematic effort picturing thejourney of a young boy trying to get back home while being followed by a big blackmonster. On this new album sounding more post-rock than ever, We Stood Like Kingsmanages to render both the tense and risky atmosphere of the boy’s adventure and theemotional ups-and-downs he goes through on this precarious journey.
