\"DukeAnglo-Canadian duo Cat\u2019s Eyes have scored their first film – Peter Strickland\u2019s \u2018The Duke of Burgundy\u2019, which makes its world debut at this weekend at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). Click here<\/a> for the screening details. Rachel Zeffira and her British band-mate, Faris Badwan (frontman of The Horrors), have put together a bewitching and beautiful soundtrack to a film dealing with role play and power relationships in an all-female world. Set in an unspecified time and place, heavy with symbolism and airtight humour, the film has cult classic written through it. The soundtrack, meanwhile, sets the bar at new high both for Cat\u2019s Eyes as a band moving towards their second album and as film composers moving forward.<\/p>\n

Cat\u2019s Eyes have created a compelling atmosphere which beautifully showcases Zeffira\u2019s classical leanings and Badwan\u2019s darker side, while drawing previously invisible arcs between Verdian Requiems, Phil Spector pop, and Paul Giovanni\u2019s Wicker Man. It was recorded by Steve Osborne at Realworld Studios and Andrew Dudman at Abbey Road Studios. \u2018The Duke of Burgundy\u2019 follows Strickland\u2019s previous films ‘Berberian Sound Studio\u2019 and ‘Katalin Varga’.<\/p>\n

“I really loved the first (Cat’s Eyes) album, that\u2019s one of the best things I\u2019ve heard in ages,”<\/em> says Strickland. “I shot two videos for them (which are still unfinished) then I just thought actually this script could be up their street so I sent it to them and they seemed willing to do it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cat\u2019s Eyes have released a self-titled debut album in 2011. Rachel Zeffira\u2019s solo album, ‘The Deserters,’ was released on Paper Bag Records in 2012. Faris Badwan also fronts the band The Horrors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
