Away by We Stood Like Kings

Piano-based instrumental post-rockers We Stood Like Kings from Brussels have been
around for over a decade now. They have released four albums and toured Europe
extensively, rescoring silent movies and revisiting classical music in a heartfelt attempt at
breathing new life into masterworks of other art forms. The albums BERLIN 1927, USSR
1926 and USA 1982 form a vibrant cinematic trilogy of new live scores for silent cult
movies, a field in which the band has become a reference on the European scene. After
the release of the CLASSICAL RE:WORKS project, on which We Stood Like Kings take
a fresh look at classical music from the Baroque to the 20th century, the band goes back to
cinema with a new live soundtrack project dedicated to the recent silent 3D animation
movie Away by the young Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis.
The AWAY 2019 project is the daring meeting between We Stood Like Kings’ music – now
refined, 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 the
journey of a young boy trying to get back home while being followed by a big black
monster. On this new album sounding more post-rock than ever, We Stood Like Kings
manages to render both the tense and risky atmosphere of the boy’s adventure and the
emotional ups-and-downs he goes through on this precarious journey.
