SQURL is: Carter Logan and Jim Jarmusch. An enthusiastically marginal rock band from New York City who like big drums & distorted guitars, cassette recorders, loops, feedback, sad country songs, molten stoner core, chopped & screwed hip-hop, and imaginary movie scores.

SQURL began in 2009 when Jim Jarmusch and his producer Carter Logan teamed with producer/engineer Shane Stoneback to record some original music for the film THE LIMITS OF CONTROL.

Echoing the varied Spanish landscapes captured in the film, the three emerged with a set of slow-motion psychedelic rock instrumentals (releasing them as Bad Rabbit).

Following these scoring sessions Jim, Shane, and Carter continued to record new originals while also exploring the back-alleys of American country, noise, and psychedelia.

SQURL released a series of 3 EPs of these songs, recorded over a 3 year period by Shane at Treefort Recording in Brooklyn, NY.

In 2012, Jim collaborated with Jozef Van Wissem and released an LP on Sacred Bones entitled The Mystery of Heaven.

In 2013 they began to compose and perform the score for the film ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE with Van Nuisance.

Bridging ancient and modern sounds, the score serves as a reflection of the distinct textures of Detroit and Tangier.

The film and soundtrack, the latter which also features Zola Jesus, were released worldwide in 2014, and quickly earned the group the Cannes Soundtrack Award.
