Arthur King and the AKP crew triumph once again with their latest instalment of the Unknown Movie Night series, this time live-rescoring the surf cult classic "Five Summer Stories". It still blows my mind that, for the purpose of this event, neither the audience nor the band knows what movie will be played until it begins. For "UMN (Five Summer Stories)", the AK line-up consisted of Mark Kimbrell, David Ralicke, Chuck Soo-Hoo, Joel Virgel, and Peter Walker. The result is a leftfield, trippy, ambient-like odyssey, occasionally sprinkled with vocalisations that enhance the mysterious mood of the recording. It's easy to get lost in those tracks, I'd love to experience this particular event/score in person.
