Staff Picks: What to Watch in February

Robert Levon Been is a producer, composer, singer song writer, and founding member of the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with whom he has released 8 albums and has toured the world since 2001. With a dedicated following across Europe, the US, Australia and Asia, their record "Howl" has ranked many top album lists. In 2013 BRMC were featured in Dave Grohl's Grammy winning documentary "Sound City". Hailing from a musical family (his late father, Michael Been, was lead singer of The Call), Levon Been discovered music at an early age developing as a multi-instrumentalist. He made his first foray into film scoring with BRMC in 2013 for Jeff Baena's dark horror-comedy, Life After Beth. For Paul Schrader's new film, The Card Counter, he worked closely with the director to write incredibly tender and nuanced songs that act as an alternate narrative, illustrating the protagonist's inner turmoil and journey.

Said Levon Been on working with Paul Schrader: "What started off as writing one original end title song, slowly evolved into scoring the full film, but essentially in reverse, in a rather unconventional method. I remember my father working with Paul composing songs for his film "Light Sleeper," starring Willem Dafoe. I was a teenager back then, but everything was very DIY in our home studio, I often recorded bass or guitar parts when Paul wasn't there, but eventually got caught. To be able to work with Paul now, so many years later, is quite surreal." This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of BRMC's self-titled first album. Robert Levon Been is currently producing and writing for multiple projects, dividing his time between Los Angeles & Vienna, Austria.
