FX’s series Trust takes you into the world of the Getty’s one of the America’s wealthiest and most unhappy families. The series starts with when John Paul Getty III, the heir to the family wealth, gets kidnapped in Italy. The series wrapped up earlier this year, but the soundtrack is set for release this Friday through Lakeshore Records. Iconic producer and composer James Lavelle made the score and we have the premiere on one of the selections for you today titled “The Rig.”
“The Rig” is a dark and brooding bit of synth work with chugging synths that slowly rise and fall along a steady kick and builds with gravelly white noise in the background. Echoing piano provides a moody element to the track that isn’t going too much, but still captivates the listener with each keystroke.
UNKLE have announced their new album, The Road: Part II/Lost Highway, out March 29 on Songs For The Def. It’s the second part of a new musical trilogy from James Lavelle and the gang, and the follow-up to UNKLE’s 2017 album The Road: Part I. The new record is reportedly split into two acts, and features collaborations with Tom Smith (The Editors), Ian Astbury (The Cult), Andrew Innes (Primal Scream), Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age), and Mick Jones (The Clash).
