“The Fabulous, Most Groovy: Director Edgar Wright’s Favourite Albums”

Posted on June 25, 2017 by admin

TheQuietus.com have just published Edgar Wright‘s Baker’s Dozen feature which includes The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion‘s Orange.

“This album pretty much inspired a whole movie of mine.

It means a lot to me – very special, very influential. I was hearing it as it came out. I’d just moved to London. I think I’d seen them on The Word doing ‘Afro’, which is an amazing TV appearance

If this album just had ‘Bellbottoms’ on it would still be a corker. ‘Bellbottoms’ is pretty much the greatest opening track of any rock album ever – an insistent and stirring widescreen opening. There’s a string quartet playing on it and it sounds immense…

“Not only does ‘Bellbottoms’ open Baby Driver​, but Jon is in the movie. Wait till you see ‘Bellbottoms’ in the movie. It’s nuts.”
