Jordan Galland’s encyclopedic memory for classic films has proven useful in the past few years. His second feature film, Alter Egos, a comedic alternate reality in which super heroes are real but have lost all public support and government funding, is set for release later this year, in addition to his latest film score for the independent feature Supporting Characters.
Galland recently paid tribute to unforgettable scenes from “Harold & Maude” and “The Exorcist” in music videos for bands like The Americans, Rival Schools and The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (which he directed), and released his solo EP To The Top (Slush Puppy Music), showcasing a cinematic blend of sunny pop hooks and cloudy lyrics – think John Hughes meets John Waters.
Working with longtime friend and collaborator Sean Lennon, Galland further combined his experience in both cinema and music with the original 12-track score for Alter Egos, the most recent of many projects the pair has worked on, including Galland’s former band, Dopo Yume, for which Sean occasionally moonlighted on guitar.
After its formation in 1998, with Galland on vocals, guitar and songwriting duties, Dopo Yume toured with Rufus Wainwright, Cibo Matto, Adam Green and Lilly Allen to name a few. Dopo Yume released three full-length albums, catching the attention of Mark Ronson, who eventually produced a re-charged version of the band called Domino.
To date, Galland has released three solo albums in as many years – Airbrush (2009), Search Party (2010) and To The Top (2011). Inspired by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg, The Talking Heads and Duran Duran, To The Top includes five tracks and one killer (literally: killer) music video.
What they’re saying…
Galland is as much a talented musician as he is a filmmaker… Search Party showcases Galland’s mellifluous voice and sweetly seductive melodies on tracks like “Sexy Girl” and “Desert Flowers”.
Lizzie Crocker, Nylon Guys
Thousands of titles can be made for multi-talented people. We call them “jacks of all trades” or “renaissance men”… We can summarize it in one name: Jordan Galland.
Kristine Dabbay, Status Magazine
Jordan Galland is a force to be reckoned with.
Magda Kiros, ASCAP Playback Magazine
Devilishly suave melodies… The most striking aspect of Airbrush upon first listen is just how classy the whole affair sounds. Like if Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright were to all meet up for a swanky meal in a stylish, smoky jazz club. A delightfully mature, memorable and elegant solo-debut.
Jack Pudwell, Subba Cultcha
Galland has crafted a work of sountrack-esque beauty in Airbrush… A highly recommended release from an especially talented fellow!
Marilyn Roxie, A Future in Noise
Jordan Galland’s music is one-of-a-kind, blending a diverse range of styles into highly listenable pop. Vibrant horns and keys stand out over hints of “pop noir.”
Lee Levin, Knox Road
