SQÜRL - Silver Haze (Silver Vinyl) [AOTY 2023]

SBR316LPC3-AOTY

2023

LIMITED SILVER VINYL

Jim Jarmusch & Carter Logan with producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Boris, Earth) invite us deep into a thick grayscale fog on Silver Haze. Over slow, steady pumpjack rhythms, they drag thick black tar up from the earth's core, oozing and spluttering out through their amp grills onto the cold concrete floor.

They're joined by illustrious guests; Charlotte Gainsbourg pays tribute to The New York School poets on "John Ashbery Takes a Walk", Anika duets Jarmusch on the smouldering "She Don't Wanna Talk About It", and elsewhere frequent Tom Waits collaborator Marc Ribot's nomadic guitar is recruited, navigating a path through the wasteland unclear to unfamiliar fingers. As the wind picks up and sweeps away the desert rock shuffle of the closing title track, be ready to submit to the world's fade to silver.
