Bauhaus’ David J and Jill Tracy create dark classical version of the band’s iconic “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”

 

An exquisite new cinematic interpretation of the Bauhaus classic “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” from David J, one of the legendary band’s founding members, with signature post-classical piano from noir chanteuse Jill Tracy. 
Featuring an excerpt from Lord Byron’s chilling vampire poem, ‘The Giaour’ 

Says David J: “Jill Tracy’s piano playing is magical, so sensitive and beautiful, it blows me away.” 

With Ysanne Spevack on eerie antique autoharp, violin and backing vocals, Kenny Annis (contrabass) and Randy Odell (drums, percussion.) 
This dark melancholic exploration was recorded live by candlelight in a single take.
