JOZEF VAN WISSEM Vinyl & CDs

Review: Jim Jarmusch's super Only Lovers Left Alive claimed the 2013 Cannes award for best soundtrack, and was helmed predominantly by Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem and SQURL. With contributions from Zola Jesus, Yasmin Hamdan, and Madeline Follin (of Cults), the soundtrack blends avant-Baroque lute with twenty-first-century elements like gritty guitars, Moroccan percussion, and synth bass to create a rich cinematic tapestry. Physical copies of the soundtrack have become rare collectibles, cherished by critics and fans alike, but Sacred Bones proudly reintroduces this remarkable soundtrack to make it available to all once more. It captures the film's essence set against the desolation of Detroit and Tangier and explores themes of eternal love amidst the collapse of modernity.
