Spindrift - The Legend Of God’s Gun

The mists of Spindrift began casting their hypnotic haze upon the eastern shores of the US in 1992. For the next decade, the captain of the mothership, singer/songwriter/guitar-slinger, Kirpatrick Thomas (aka K.P.), sailed the sonic sea, letting the music carry him and his band to faraway places to perform for audiences around the world. Eight records later, Kirpatrick felt the undeniable pull of the west and ventured into the sunset in search of a new world. Spindrift “west” would be born and a new psychedelic western revival movement would begin. With Spindrift’s penchant for creating epic cinematic soundtracks, it comes as no surprise that the band has also embarked on a vision quest of their own, with the creation of a feature film, The Legend Of God’s Gun. At the heart of the artfully shot independent feature film directed by Mike Bruce, which was inspired by 60’s era spaghetti western movies, is the psychedelic sounds of Spindrift. Both haunting and hallucinogenic, the soundtrack takes the listener on a cosmic journey through the desert as a preacher turned gunslinger sets out for a vengeance. With a guitar in one hand and a six-shooter in the other, neo-cosmic cowboy Kirpatrick Thomas and his current band of banditos resurrect the spirits of Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai and combines them with the ghosts of Velvet Underground and Jim Morrison, weaving a dusty backdrop to a story of sin and salvation in the wild west.  Track listing: 1.
