“Jim first created the main guitar tracks in his home studio while reminiscing about his time in Berlin in 1987,” the group said in a statement. “When I was hiking through Central and Eastern Europe with a backpack stuffed with Super 8 cameras after the fall of the wall, I was extremely moved by the landscape. I never imagined that a quarter of a century later the footage would end up in a movie for Jim and Carter’s band. They work hard to create their expansive sound, with its unbending beat and hidden harmonies. Luckily I had the backpack and was on call,” Cohen says of the music video.

Carter Logan and Jim Jarmusch have been playing and releasing soundtracks to the director and screenwriter’s films since 2009. Most recently for his 2019 release The Dead Don’t Die. In the same year he released the album An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil with lute player Jozef van Wissem, who contributed to the Only Covers Left Alive soundtrack. Now follows the debut album with Squrl, on which feature guests Charlotte Gainsburg, Anika and Marc Ribot will also be heard.

On January 28th this year, the group performed at the Volksbühne in Berlin. Jarmusch on guitar and synthesizer, and Logan on drums and also synthesizer, scored four Man Ray short films.
