Bauhaus, Elvis Costello and Gary Numan soundtrack The Souvenir

Bauhaus, Elvis Costello and Gary Numan soundtrack The Souvenir

Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir is out now, featuring several songs from UMPG artists, including Bauhaus, Elvis Costello and Gary Numan. 

Dubbed by Empire as “an understated, exquisite gem of a film” The Souvenir’s tale of a turbulent relationship in 1980s London is fittingly soundtracked by the likes of Bauhaus’ ‘Passion Of Lovers’ and Gary Numan’s ‘Metal’. 

Elsewhere in the film, the soundtrack’s given a reggae kick with The Upsetters’ ‘Dread Lion’ and a 60s Beat break with The Spencer Davis Group’s ‘Alec In Transitland’.  

With the musical interludes lauded by The Guardian – Robert Wyatt’s 'Shipbuilding', written by Elvis Costello, is given a "glorious outing" – The Souvenir isn’t one to miss.
