{"product_id":"the-dead-don-t-die-original-score","title":"The Dead Don't Die: Original Score","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dead Don’t Die is writer \/ director Jim Jarmusch’s unique, semi-comic take on the zombie apocalypse genre. As with his recent efforts \u003ci\u003eOnly Lovers Left Alive \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePaterson\u003c\/i\u003e, the film’s score was composed and performed by Squrl, the band Jarmusch and producer Carter Logan founded in 2009. Sacred Bones Records, the same label that released the band’s EP\u003ci\u003e #260\u003c\/i\u003e in 2017, is releasing the ip edition of the score. The score to the \u003ci\u003eThe Dead Don’t Die\u003c\/i\u003e is a true expression of where Squrl stand at the centre of a decade of sonic exploration. It is the culmination of their pas- sion 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 reso- nator, 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 Squrl’s score for \u003ci\u003eThe Dead Don’t Die\u003c\/i\u003e came from some of the most iconic soundtracks of the past half-century of genre cinema - Tangerine Dream’s \u003ci\u003eSorcerer,\u003c\/i\u003e Bebe and Louis Barron’s \u003ci\u003eForbidden Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, Ennio Morricone’s \u003ci\u003eThe Thing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Time in the West\u003c\/i\u003e, Goblin’s \u003ci\u003eDawn of the Dead,\u003c\/i\u003e and all things John Carpenter. The singular Theremin work of Samuel J. Hoff- man on films like \u003ci\u003eSpellbound\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Day the Earth Stood Still\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sacred Bones Records","offers":[{"title":"Green | LP","offer_id":50486587785547,"sku":"1068124","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f1dc90af-bc45-4571-91e6-32e706a364e4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727611920","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-dead-don-t-die-original-score","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
