Playlist: Coupler on the influences behind Dragnet Girl

Nashville band Coupler is coming back to the Wex for their second live soundtrack event, this time accompanying Yasujiro Ozu's gorgeous 1933 gangster film, Dragnet Girl. The last time the band came here to play—with the visionary silent scifi film Our Heavenly Bodies—founder Ryan Norris provided the Wex with a list of influences on the soundtrack the band developed for it. Norris shared the same for their latest soundtrack, and below you'll find the tracks he was listening to in convenient playlist form.

Enjoy an aural journey through some of the most atmospheric soundtracks of the past six decades, including Blade Runner, Taxi Driver, John Carpenter's The Thing, Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water, and Miles Davis's legendary work on Louis Malle's 1958 crime drama Elevator to the Gallows.
