In terms of music the adjective cinematic is often reserved for the likes of Hans Zimmer and grandiose swiping orchestral scores. Surely it would apply to any song telling a tale? We all visual scenarios songs paint us. Don’t we?
Rylie DeGarmo a.k.a Les Ailes offers us a glimpse of her peripatetic life in the US Southern States on But I Love You.

There’s countrified swing, torch song drama, and miles of tarmac and tears.
If the glorious day comes when Neko Case soundtracks a David Lynch film, they could take some cues from Les Ailes.
