Death and Vanilla perform a live score to "Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You” (1968)

Death and Vanilla utilise vintage musical equipment such as vibraphone, organ, mellotron, tremolo guitar and moog, to emulate the sounds of 60s/70s soundtracks, library music, German Krautrock, French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych. They revel in the warmth of older analogue instruments to create a more organic sound, each loose wire and off-kilter noise adding to the rich atmosphere.

Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad is perhaps M. R. James’ most masterful realisation of ancient dread – a ghost story with a windswept East Anglian setting, it tells of the unearthing of a strange whistle and the troubling spectre that comes to haunts its owner. The story received a wonderfully atmospheric adaptation at the hands of Jonathan Miller in 1968, and it is to this classic that Death And Vanilla perform their remarkable live score.
