We always love to see our friends life live to the fullest and pushing their art and creativity out to the world so when we got hipped that the incredible Sean Wolcott was heading to Japan for the first time to screen and release his most recent cinematic outing, we were beyond excited for him to get this opportunity. If you’re not familiar with Sean which you should be if you’ve been following here at Nostalgia King but Sean in an incredible musician and composer who focuses on cinematic works that have truly become modern day library themes, BGM and soundtrack works of art. For his first trip to Japan, he’s releasing and exclusive 45 which will surely be a must have for collectors.
Seattle’s visionary producer Sean Wolcott has crafted one of his finest works yet: Lady Swordfighter, an imagined Japanese film soundtrack that has already become legendary among Wamono and cinema fans. From this masterpiece comes the haunting ballad “Nine Lives Are Not Enough”, sung in Japanese and now issued for the first time as a Japan limited-edition 7-inch fromFourth Wave Record Factory.
Blending psychedelic jazz-funk with the mystique of traditional Japanese instrumentation—shakuhachi, koto, shinobue, and taiko—Wolcott conjures a sound world that recalls the raw power of early ’70s exploitation scores while pushing them into new territory. Distorted fuzz lines meet spectral Japanese melodies, ascending into a drama of sorrow and intensity.
More than just a song, Lady Swordfighter is a cinematic soundscape—an unprecedented audio picture scroll.
