Premiere: Listen to Jeremy Deller’s “English Magic” EP in full, featuring steel band covers of David Bowie, Vaughan Williams and A Guy Called Gerald

Stream the complete soundtrack to Turner-Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller’s “English Magic” film work, premiered last week at the Venice Biennale.

Chosen for the British pavilion at the 55th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Jeremy Deller has turned to the country’s rich and varied musical heritage for inspiration, with the soundtrack to his film “English Magic” to be released as a limited edition EP by The Vinyl Factory.

For the release, Deller has called upon South London English/Trinidadian steel band the Melodians Steel Orchestra to interpret composer Vaughan Williams’ “Symphony in D minor”, seminal UK acid house track “Voodoo Ray” by A Guy Called Gerald and David Bowie’s 1971 pop refrain “The Man Who Sold The World”. With “Voodoo Ray” premiered on FACT yesterday, Deller has now shared the other two tracks, and you can now listen to all three below:
