Cellar Door is an album by John Vanderslice, released in 2004. [4] [5] [6] The album contains a few songs based on then-recent films: "Promising Actress" is about Mulholland Drive and "When It Hits My Blood" narrates Requiem For A Dream .
The phrase cellar door is one of the most beautiful phrases in the English language, according to J.R.R. Tolkien.[ relevant? ]
The Austin Chronicle wrote that the "rogues' gallery of miscreants and misanthropes dart among simple instrumentation (synth, guitar, drums) as Vanderslice channels their tales." [1] Exclaim! noted that "as the content gets darker, the music grows strangely pretty, with delicate guitar, bells and his distinctive big, weird drum sound." [7]
All tracks written by John Vanderslice, except the lyrics for Pale Horse, adapted from Shelley's The Masque of Anarchy .
