If you had to choose the intro of a television series, which band or artist would you recommend? It’s a weird average question, we know it and it depends on a thousand details. But we believe that several of Kerala Dust’s songs would be great as a show opening track.
And it is that the compositions of the british band have that ambient and even cinematographic magic that many times we have seen in the opening themes of series such as The Sopranos o Peaky Blindersto mention a few.
With a combination of psychedelic rock, blues and techno, Kerala Dust’s songs are perfect for setting up scenes of all kinds. thanks to how hypnotic and atmospheric they are. So here, we review some of his great songs that he would give to the point if we listened to them in series intros.
5 Kerala Dust songs that would serve as series intros
Perhaps it is a band that here in our country still does not enjoy such a massive fan base, but they already have a solid fan base. It is enough to see their numbers on music streaming platforms, since only Mexico City enters their lists of places where they are heard the most.
And what is it that makes them special? As we said above, Kerala Dust songs are an amazing journey where analog instrumentation and electronics are combined in the best way. They have that psychedelic texture close to blues and techno that show us that there are no limits when creativity is at its highest point.
The London band consisting of Edmund Kenny, Harvey Gran and Lawrence Howarth They come to Mexico to raffle it at the Vaivén 2023 festival as part of his album tour Violet Drive. And well, here we have prepared this list of his songs that would sound very cool in series intros (and that the net will want to add to their playlists).
“Moonbeam, Midnight, Howl” could be played in Peaky Blinders
Let’s just start with something out of the Violet Drive. One of the coolest Kerala Dust songs on that record is “Moonbeam, Midnight, Howl” which takes us on a walk of sounds that increases as the song is played.
It all starts as a soft blues and folk melody guided by a very catchy riff. When you least expect it, BOOM! The dance vibe kicks in to make you shake your head without thinking. It is as if “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (which many will remember for Peaky Blinders) will cross paths with his more danceable and techno side.
“Jacob’s Gun” would be perfect in Better Call Saul
Following our journey through Violet Drive (which at this point we have to suggest because it’s a great album), we have this roll called “Jacob’s Gun”. Here blues rock is explored a little more with very flirtatious guitar arrangements, perhaps not so gloomy but more luminous.
Do you know this role as what gives it an air? Like the blues piece that we hear in the intros of Better Call Saul. This is one of the Kerala Dust songs that would look great on the soundtrack of a crime drama series.
“Closer” brings an opening vibe from The Sopranos
This must be one of the Kerala Dust songs that best exemplify that tremendous combination between country mid-cut blues and techno. And for that reason, this great song would be a perfect piece for the intro of a series like The Sopranos. Or doesn’t it just give you a vibe like “Woke Up This Morning” from Alabama 3, which was the intro song for that show?
“The Chain”, one of the songs of Kerala Dust in collaboration with Brooke Bentham
Kerala Dust also enters the cool collaborations and one of his most raffled songs in that sense in “The Chain”, which they put together with the singer Brooke Bentham. This song shines more in the field of electronics and is characterized by the downtempo roll that it could even have trip-hop influences.
For this reason, this song by Kerala Dust suggests that it could be an interesting intro for Dr. House let’s remember It had in its opening many influences of “Teardrop” by Massive Attack.
“Night Bell (Arizona)” would shine in Sons of Anarchy
With a gravelly voice and a country-blues riff, “Night Bell” is one of the songs of Kerala Dust that would be accurate for any scene involving a desert setting, very much in the style of a motorcycle bandit storyeh.
So it wouldn’t be unreasonable to imagine this roll putting music to some series like Sons of Anarchy. Take the test by putting the intro of the series or any scene, with the theme of the British band, and they will see that the roll is perfect. Very cool this electronic country blues.
