Interpol's Paul Banks has released covers of Iggy Pop's "Gimme Danger" and "Sister Midnight" for Karan Kandhari's film named after the latter. In a statement, Banks expressed his excitement about reinterpreting the tracks and described the film's essence as full of Stoogian grit. Kandhari, the film's director, echoed this sentiment, stating that Iggy Pop's music deeply influenced the film's creation. Sister Midnight is currently showing in European cinemas, with a global release anticipated later.
In a press release, Banks says of the covers, 'Gimme Danger' is one of my favorite Stooges songs, and 'Sister Midnight' I was less familiar with, but it is the titular track of a film that is feral with Stoogian grit and joy, so I was equally excited to immerse myself in it, and find an interpretation that felt authentic to my voice.
Kandhari adds in the press release, 'Art comes from the unconscious and the music of Iggy Pop was like a breadcrumb trail I followed through the unconscious as I wrote the film. In a beautiful collision of worlds, our talented composer Paul Banks has reinterpreted two Iggy songs in his own unique and haunting way, serving as celebration of both Iggy and the film's themes.'
