Their destination was the 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort, where Greenwood (with the help of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich) and a group of musicians called from across the Indian sub-continent, worked on Ben Tzur’s album which will be released by Nonesuch in November. The band assembled a makeshift studio at the fort and over the following 3 weeks created the collaboration that becomes the music and film of Junun.
“We’re huge fans of MUBI and wanted to be a part of what they do”, states Anderson. “Hopefully people will discover both the music that’s been made by Shye and Jonny and a great place to watch films.”
