(splatter) The Dead Don't Die: Original Score
Red splatter on green vinyl, limited to 2500 copies! 'The Dead Don't Die' is writer/director Jim Jarmusch's unique,
semi-comic take on the zombie apocalypse genre. As with his recent efforts 'Only Lovers Left Alive' and 'Paterson', the
film's score was composed and performed by SQÜRL, the band Jarmusch and producer Carter Logan founded in 2009. The score
to the 'The Dead Don't Die' is a true expression of where SQÜRL stand at the center of a decade of sonic exploration. It
is the culmination of their passion for analog synths, with guitar violence reverberating from the darker corners of
Americana. It is at once a tribute to the classic sounds of horror and sci-fi, as well as a decapitation of traditional
film scores. It is naturally supernatural. From their arsenal of tools, Jarmusch and Logan pulled electric guitars and
basses made by Rick Kelly and Cindy Hulej at Carmine Street Guitars, an acoustic resonator, Moog Minitaur and Theremini
synthesizers, Fender Rhodes electric piano, an old Ludwig drum kit, cheap vintage Casio and Yamaha keyboards and new
synths from Critter and Guitari - all sculpted through a collection of effects pedals, notably from Earthquaker Devices.
The inspiration for SQÜRL's score for 'The Dead Don't Die' came from some of the most iconic soundtracks of the past
half-century of genre cinema - Tangerine Dream's 'Sorcerer', Bebe and Louis Barron's 'Forbidden Planet', Ennio
Morricone's 'The Thing' and 'Once Upon A Time In The West', Goblin's 'Dawn Of The Dead', and all things John Carpenter.
The singular Theremin work of Samuel J. Hoffman on films like 'Spellbound' and 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' also made
its way into Jarmusch and Logan's consciousness. The result is a new horror soundtrack that stands shoulder to shoulder
with the great works of its genre.
