Silver Haze [Silver Vinyl]

SQÜRL was formed by Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan in 2009 to score
Jarmusch’s movie The Limits of Control. Over a decade later and with numerous EPs and film scores under their belt, SQÜRL are set to release their very
first full length record. Silver Haze was produced by Randall Dunn, who has
also worked with the likes of Sunn O))), Boris, Earth, Zola Jesus, and Marissa
Nadler, all of whom are artists that Squrl cite as inspirations. The album
enlists Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anika, and Mark Ribot as collaborators, resulting in a communal offering that shares an energetic lineage with the New York
School of Poets, a school they nod to on the track “John Ashbery Takes a Walk,”
which features Gainsbourg and turns two early Ashbery poems into an irresistible melodic siren’s song.
Silver Haze expands on SQÜRL’s passion for creating rich textural sounds,
finessed by a keen ear for production. The band is known for playing with
everything from analogue synths to broken radios and pulling inspiration
from painters, writers, and birds on the street. Silver Haze is a poetic journey
of spoken words, dynamic instrumentals, drone riffs and distorted effects, one
that features tubular bells and a cello in addition to their signature stacks of
delay, encircling the listener in a warm oscillation both delicate and devastating.
