Is unknown artist Tim Arnold the next David Bowie? Iggy Pop thinks that he may be. Pop stars in new film Blood Orange, which features music composed by Arnold, a veteran independent singer-songwriter who has self-released 13 albums. “They sent along a demo which Tim had done in a home studio. It had a noir, detective movie guitar riff that comes and goes, but mainly four notes of a very plaintive, simple saxophone theme, just four forlorn notes,” Pop tells NME. “It could have been an outtake from ‘Kind of Blue’ by Miles Davis, or maybe side two of ‘Low’ by Bowie and Brian Eno. I liked it and they redid it with real musicians, which roughened it up. It reminded me a little of some things that Chet Baker did. I thought it was a real nice theme, effective for the film.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
