Minimal keys and less guitar over a
beat reversed and driven over by Dave
Graney
"Gloria Grahame-manifest--manifestly-manifesto..”
"Gloria Grahame-manifest--manifestly-manifesto..”
A new digital single
from Dave Graney. The third for
2018. This time it’s a breakout keys driven groover called Gloria Grahame (fuck or die). Its vintage Graney.
In the 90s there was the
paen to the laconic and beat actor Warren
Oates (1991), the instrumental Confessions
Of Serge Gainsbourg (1994) and the tribute to Ava Gardner that was Mogambo (1993).
On the last physical
album, 2017’s LETS GET TIGHT, there was the Charlie Parker jazz punning wonder
that was DRIFTING DONNA REED.
This time Dave Graney drops down to his mean pulp
groundwater with a pulsing, keys driven celebration of film noir icon Gloria Grahame, star of the Big Heat and In A Lonely Place recently the subject of the movie “Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool”. The song celebrates her cold power and
resilience and enigmatic, restless persona. It touches on an apocryphal
incident where, as they watched a couple having sex in a hotel room, she
allegedly pulled a gun on her then husband , director Nicholas Ray and gave him
the choice, fuck or die!
