Synopsis

Album Description

Co-founder of British post-punkers the Swell Maps, Epic Soundtracks reinvented himself as an eccentric, critically acclaimed piano balladeer during the '90s with his first-ever solo album, Rise Above. Featuring guest appearances from admirers like Lee Ranaldo, Kim Gordon, and J Mascis, the album was a warm, gentle exercise in traditional-style pop that placed Soundtracks and his piano firmly at center stage. Two more acclaimed albums followed. On November 22, 1997, Soundtracks was found dead in his London flat. Good Things is Epic's final album, recorded just before he passed away and issued now for the first time.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Epic Soundtracks was the genius behind Swell Maps. He later showed up in some bands with Rowland S. Howard (of The Birthday Party). Epic sabotaged the These Immortal Souls recordings, and that band never took off. His solo work is pretty interesting. It's a little folk inspired. It's very quiet music. It's mostly just vocals and guitars. It sounds like a home recording. Epic Soundtracks was found dead in his apartment on November 22, 1997. This record is what they found. Epic Soundtracks is a curious fellow, but I don't think a lot of people will check it out."
