UNLOVED Vinyl & CDs

Review: BBC's hit action drama Killing Eve not only introduced the exceptional screen talent of Jodie Comer to a global audience, it also had some damned good tunes each and every season. Unloved were responsible for much of the soundtrack to the relationship between deadly assassin Villanelle and super-determined government agent Eve, which progresses from obsessive woman-hunt to weirdly playful cat and mouse games and finally, something much more personal. Ode to the Lovers collates much of the music delivered by Unloved for this gripping journey played out over four series, resulting in a staggeringly mesmerising collection of sounds that seem to lull, swoon, sway, romance, mystify and, finally, win hearts over. Blissful and beautiful instrumental classical-pop-electronic business, it's certainly worthy of the eye candy these limited run pressings come packaged in.

Review: The Unloved crew is back with a new album Polychrome, and it is made up of eight tunes that were all recorded during the same period as The Pink Album from September last year. The band is known for having cooked up a cinematic sound that joins the dots between moody 60s girl group records to sonic experimenters like the great Delia Derbyshire and Silver Apples via the mystic and shadowy atmospheres of David Lynch and monochromatic charm of the French New Wave. All that and more features here on another beautifully alluring collection.
