His track featured in Oscar nominated 'Un Prophete'
Turner Cody's song "Corner of My Room" taken from his last album 'First Light' appears in the award winning film "Un Prophete" by Jacques Audiard - up for best foreign language film at the Oscars on March 7th.
The NEW album "Gangbusters!" is the latest recording from this young songwriter, whose story is already a long one. Over ten years and nine albums, Turner Cody has moulded himself into an artist of great form and scope whose vision blends the old with the new, the hope-filled with the melancholic, the sacred with the profane.
"Gangbusters!" is Cody's third studio album with Herman Dune, and many of the tracks were fleshed out over their two years on the road together. The lyrical flare displayed on previous Cody albums are here given a colour, meter, and phrasing as never before. Jon Natchez and Kelly Pratt (both of Beirut) add melody and texture in poignant horn arrangements that add depth to the vocal track. For the final mix, Dan Myers (Adam Green) worked well to turn live studio takes into a mature, well-balanced final product. Turner's most recent albums have all featured Herman Dune on bass & drums and members of Beirut and Arcade Fire.
In 2004, he co-founded the club night "Hassid Meets Hipster" which united two disparate elements of Brooklyn culture for three years. Most recently, he worked with video director Chris Edley (art director, MGMT). Turner lives in Brooklyn with his wife Madeline.
