F\u00e9licia Atkinson<\/a> has a new album on the way. Long a fan of Georges Franju\u2019s cult horror movie Les Yeux Sans Visage<\/em>, the French composer decided to reinvent the score wholesale\u2014originally for the Belgian cultural center Viernulvier\u2019s Videodroom<\/a> series, and now on record. A track from Sans Visage<\/em>, \u201cLes Yeux II<\/a>,\u201d is out today as a single. Listen to that below, ahead of the record\u2019s release on June 26.<\/p>\n Sans Visage<\/em>, which follows Atkinson\u2019s solo records Space as an Instrument<\/em><\/a> and Promenades<\/em><\/a>, is a 34-minute cut of her full 90-minute score. \u201cThrough the music, I decided to bring back [the characters\u2019] empowerment despite what they endure,\u201d she said in a press release, alluding to the film\u2019s villain, a surgeon who becomes obsessed with performing a facial skin graft on his daughter. Atkinson dedicates the record to the French rape survivor Gis\u00e8le Pelicot<\/a>. The \u201ctrial happened while I was in the process of composing the music,\u201d Atkinson added. \u201cI kept thinking of her strength and her decision to share her trial in order to reverse the shame.\u201d<\/p>\n Last month, Atkinson released Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems<\/em><\/a>, a collaboration with Christina Vantzou.<\/p>\n
