Archive Spotlight : Pop Will Eat Itself

Pop Will Eat ItselfIn recent years, Clint Mansell has become well known (and respected) for his film soundtrack work. He has scored all of Darren Aronofsky’s films (the most recent being “The Fountain,” released last week) as well as such movies as “The Hole,” “Sahara” and “Doom.” We interviewed Clint back in 1994, when his musical focus was the band Pop Will Eat Itself. Active primarily between the mid 80’s and mid 90’s, PWEI had a sample-heavy sound that brought together elements of hip hop and noisy guitar pop. In 1995, the band reunited for a while, but early the following year it was announced that Mansell and guitarist/bassist Richard March were leaving in order to concentrate on their other projects. PWEI members Graham Crabb, Adam Mole and Fuzz Townshend went on to continue working together in a new band, Vileevils.

This interview was done to coinciding with the release of the “Dos Dedos Mis Amigos,” the final official PWEI album.
