Last Train are an exception on the French indie rock scene. From the Olympia in Paris to the biggest festivals, the four Alsatians have won over a devoted audience with their hypnotic, moving concerts. Independent or nothing, they self-produce their records and tours, as well as their music videos, short films and even documentaries, with rigour and determination. At the end of 2022, the musicians had the luxury of taking their time and the right to experiment. Far from the beaten track, they are rewriting their own repertoire in a cinematic and contemplative way. By collaborating with the Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse, Last Train confirm their visceral love of large-format sounds and images, and present a veritable compendium of influences in twelve tracks. Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to a film that doesn’t exist. From a symphonic chase to a neo-classical interlude, from an organ requiem to an electronic soaring, the Mulhouse-based band play with the boundaries of genres. Last Train sets the bar ever higher with this unexpected,singular and striking album. It is accompanied by a mini-seriesdocumenting the work done in the studio, the collaboration withthe orchestra and the day-to-day life of an authentic, inspiredband.
