SQÜRL
Biography

SQÜRL is an American musical duo band (Carter Logan and Jim Jarmusch). It’s known for music to The Dead Don’t Die (2019), Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), The Limits of Control (2009), Paterson (2016).

An enthusiastically marginal rock band from New York City who like big drums & distorted guitars, cassette recorders, loops, feedback, sad country songs, molten stoner core, chopped & screwed hip-hop, and imaginary movie scores.
SQÜRL began in 2009 when Jim and Carter teamed with producer/engineer Shane Stoneback to record some original music for the film THE LIMITS OF CONTROL. Echoing the varied Spanish landscapes captured in the film, the three emerged with a set of slow-motion psychedelic rock instrumentals (releasing them as Bad Rabbit).
Following these scoring sessions Jim, Shane, and Carter continued to record new originals while also exploring the back-alleys of American country, noise, and psychedelia. Having changed their name to SQÜRL the group released a series of 3 EPs of these songs, recorded over a 3 year period by Shane at Treefort Recording in Brooklyn, NY.
In 2013, SQÜRL collaborated with Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem to compose and perform the score for the film ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE. Bridging ancient and modern sounds, the score serves as a reflection of the distinct textures of Detroit and Tangier. The film and soundtrack album were released worldwide in 2014, and quickly earned the group the Cannes Soundtrack Award from a consortium of film and music critics. The trio of Jarmusch, Logan and Van Wissem have since performed on many international stages including the inaugural All Tomorrow’s Parties Iceland, Primavera Sound, Big Ears Festival and Third Man Records where they recorded and released a live album.
