SQÜRL: Funnel Of Love feat. Madeline Follin
Hot Chip’s take on William Onyeabor, Swedish dance-pop, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch’s vampire soundtrack and more in our look at the music we tweeted this week
“Only Lovers Left Alive” promises to be a very different kind of vampire film—Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are centuries-old, long-distance lovers who buy, rather than suck, blood in a civilized manner. Director Jim Jarmusch happens to be in the band SQÜRL and, along with Jozef Van Wissem and Yasmine Hamdan, has made the film’s Cannes award-winning soundtrack. “Funnel of Love” is a gritty rock tune that opens the film and sets its raw, sexy (and deadly) tone. The soundtrack is available in the US on 8 April 2014 from ATP Recordings; New Yorkers can attend a preview screening and live music from the soundtrack on 1 April, hosted by Cinema Paradiso.
