SQURL Vinilo y CD

Review: In 2009, legendary film director Jim Jarmusch and his producer and musician friend Carter Logan teamed up to embark on the soundtrack for Jarmusch's then-latest movie, The Limits Of Control. What ensued was not only a soundtrack, but an entirely new artist project which morphed out of the film's inception - SQURL. The band is now known for playing with everything from analogue synths to broken radios and pulling inspiration from painters, writers, and birds on the street. While the duo has since gone on to soundtrack many of Jarmusch's greatest modern films, Silver Haze is their latest non-soundtrack LP. Imagine Codeine meets Whitehouse: here, cold spoken word reflections on a life in decay blend with ultra-doomy, grit-blinded guitar-drum plods. It's easily reminiscent of Jarmusch's vampiric reflection on eternal suffering, 'Only Lovers Left Alive'.

Review: Jim Jarmusch's super Only Lovers Left Alive claimed the 2013 Cannes award for best soundtrack, and was helmed predominantly by Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem and SQURL. With contributions from Zola Jesus, Yasmin Hamdan, and Madeline Follin (of Cults), the soundtrack blends avant-Baroque lute with twenty-first-century elements like gritty guitars, Moroccan percussion, and synth bass to create a rich cinematic tapestry. Physical copies of the soundtrack have become rare collectibles, cherished by critics and fans alike, but Sacred Bones proudly reintroduces this remarkable soundtrack to make it available to all once more. It captures the film's essence set against the desolation of Detroit and Tangier and explores themes of eternal love amidst the collapse of modernity.
