About this album

Wang Chung’s To Live And Die In L.A. is a tight, stylish soundtrack that turned the group’s synth-pop instincts into hard-edged film atmosphere. Issued in 1985 for William Friedkin’s crime thriller, it blends icy electronics, pulsing rhythm and melancholy melody to mirror the movie’s neon-lit Los Angeles setting. The title song became the band’s signature moment, while pieces such as Lullaby and City Of The Angels show how effectively they could balance pop hooks with suspense and mood. As both a soundtrack and a snapshot of mid-80s electronic pop, it remains one of the era’s more distinctive film albums.
