Description

The Last Kingdomis a British historical fiction TV series based on novels calledThe Saxon Storiesby author Bernard Cornwell originally aired on BBC 2 amp BBC America. John Lunns music possesses a unique voice that spans a wide spectrum of musical styles. Classically trained, yet contemporary in attitude, he combines a highly intelligent and sensitive approach with a sound that always hits at the emotional heart of a piece. He is probably best known for scoring the hugely successfuldramaDownton Abbey,for which he has received two Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as a BAFTA nomination.Eivoslashr often envisions the dramatic landscape of her Nordic homeland, a remote archipelago known as the Faroe Islands. ‘It can be veryharsh and very gentle at the same time, and when I sing, I see that wildness and softness blended together’ . Now based in Copenhagen, Eivoslashr brings that stark contrast to a darkly textured, yet brightly melodic sound centred on her captivating vocals. While her origins lie in Faroese folk singing, Eivoslashrs most recent output reveals her fascination with the infinite possibilities of electronic music. Along with earning comparisons to Kate Bush in the pages of MOJO, Eivoslashrs otherworldly ingenuity has led to her role in cocomposing the soundtrack to the BBCNetflix flagship seriesThe Last Kingdom.The Last Kingdomis available as a limited edition of 500 numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl and contains an insert. John Lunn is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £30 +P&P
