Sqürl, Jim Jarmusch’s band with Carter Logan, have announced their debut LP, Silver Haze, with a video for their new song “Berlin ’87.” Silver Haze features collaborations with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anika, and Marc Ribot; it’s due out May 5 via Sacred Bones. Check out the full tracklist and the video for “Berlin ‘87”—directed by Jem Cohen—below.
The new song and its video feature decades-old music and images. “Jim created the basic guitar tracks first in his home studio, with memories of living in Berlin in 1987 floating around him,” the band said in a statement. “The tracks were then Sqürlized by Carter & Randall at Circular Ruin.”
Of the video, Jem Cohen added:
Jarmusch and Logan first collaborated on the score for Jarmusch’s 2009 film, The Limits of Control. They’ve since shared several EPs, and, in 2020, they shared Some Music for Robby Müller the score to Claire Pijman’s 2018 documentary about the titular Dutch cinematographer.
