Quinell - "From The Woods: Inside Llewyn Davis"
Singer-songwriter, Quinell has released a folk-inspired mini-documentary called From The Woods: Inside Llewyn Davis exclusively with HitFix. It was directed by Justin Frick. It was inspired by the Coen brothers film and the soundtrack featured on it.
Quinell describes his inspiration for the project as "there's something so familiar and comforting about a folk song. The stripped back vulnerable delivery of lyrics paired with the perfect melody make for songs that can stand the test of time. My good friend, Justin Frick had been trying to get me to watch, Inside Llewyn Davis for a while and when I finally got around to watching it, I was glad that I had. As soon as I heard, "Hang Me O Hang Me" in the opening scene, I knew that I wanted to do something with this particular soundtrack. As luck would have it, Justin was going to be up at his cabin on Priest Lake for a few weeks, and he loves these songs/movie as much as I do. He had the idea to record and shoot these songs in one day out in three different locations around the lake. In an era of hyper-produced music and a lot of noise, we set out to bring some stripped back folk songs and remind people that it's alright to slow down for a while. With that in mind, we bring you From The Woods: Inside Llewyn Davis."
Check out the songs on Bandcamp.
