Ethan will be at Sundance this year with his brother Ari's debut feature film Adventures of Power, which functions very nearly as a musical... Except people air drum instead of lip sync. Starting from a few famous rock songs which the film licensed, Ethan created a music experience for the film that fits the humor and strangely epic qualities of the story. Yes, as you may have heard, it is a story about an air drummer... The "Gandhi" of air drum pictures.... Ethan wrote, produced, and in some cases performed about 15 new songs for Adventures of Power in styles ranging from nü-country ballads to thrash-metal to 70s rock to north-African funk, as well as writing and performing a spare and haunting underscore to tie the tale together. OK, I took some of this from the press bio....
Moving right along...
The debut album from Elvis Perkins on XL Recordings, Ash Wednesday, was produced and arranged by Ethan. Reviews in Filter, Spin, Rolling Stone, Stylus, and a whole lot of blogs.
