“ Drive lasts because it is good. This is not meant as an understatement,” Johnny Jewel told Vehlinggo in an interview recently. Johnny Jewel of Chromatics, Desire, Glass Candy, Symmetry, etc. Films still bear the sheen of Refn’s approach to filmmaking (and his and editor Mat Newman’s song choices). Bands are still inspired by the chic synth-pop aesthetic. Music fans still buy the soundtrack and go down the Discogs rabbit hole of all the artists on it. The film and its key player - the music - have defied mainstream culture’s ephemeral shelf-life and are still viable today. Aaronĭrive - the neon-noir from iconoclastic director Nicolas Winding Refn - turns five years old on Sept. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed working on it this year. To aid in my quest, I interviewed Drive soundtrack artists College, Electric Youth, Johnny Jewel (Chromatics/Desire), and Cliff Martinez, among others. Note: This piece looks at Nicolas Winding Refn’s iconic film Drive as it approaches its fifth anniversary on Sept.
