The Strokes’ Nick Valensi and his band Crx confront loneliness and alienation head on in their new song, “We’re All Alone.” The track marks the first single off the band’s upcoming album, Peek, out August 23rd.
In a statement, Crx guitarist Darian Zahedi said “We’re All Alone” came out of a desire to “do something hypnotic as fuck.” The song boasts a thumping new wave groove peppered with an array of synths and angular guitar riffs that wobble without losing any sense of melody. During the chorus,...

Jim Jarmusch hasn’t shared any news about his next film project, but the writer-director of 2016’s “Paterson” recently released some new original music from his rock band, Sqürl. The group’s fourth mini-album, “Ep #260,” features five songs, only one of which includes vocals – “Gates of Ishtar.” The heavily instrumental music sounds a lot like a film score, which makes sense considering Sqürl first came together to compose the soundtrack for Jarmusch’s 2009 crime-drama “The Limits of Control.” The band’s first name was Bad Rabbit.

Sqürl’s members include Vampire Weekend sound engineer Shane Stoneback and “Paterson” composer (and film producer) Carter Logan.

I caught Jim Jarmusch's newest film, Only Lovers Left Alive at the Cannes Film Festival last year and enjoyed it so much I've already included it on my list of films I'll be considering for my top ten of 2014. Here's a snippet from my "B" review: It's no surprise Jim Jarmusch's vampire love story Only Lovers Left Alive isn't a vampire film in the same vein as anything you've seen come out of Hollywood. These vampires don't glitter and they've found more conventional ways to sate their blood lust than risking exposure or worse by draining human beings. There is, however, an overall sense of loneliness and the characters are quite moody as most vampires tend to be. Their disgruntled, "hate the world" nature speaks to the film's larger theme, and while it isn't exactly ground-breaking, in terms of execution, it's quietly entertaining. Starring Tom Hiddleston and...

Tied to this weekend's opening of The Limits of Control, the FilmInFocus site (which, full disclosure, I co-edit) has posted quite a bit of content relating to writer/director Jim Jarmusch and the movie. Below is an excerpt from Lea Rinaldo's documentary on the making of The Limits of Control. FilmInFocus will be posting sections of this piece, and, having seen the whole thing I can recommend it both as intriguing glimpse into Jarmusch and his production method as well as film in its own right. And, also, I interviewed Jarmusch about the movie's striking score, which is compiled of tracks from bands like Sunn O))), Earth, Boris, The Black Angels, and Bad Rabbit (consisting of Jarmusch, Carter Logan and Shane Stoneback and heard on...

Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for The Limits of Control, which premiered a bizarre-yet-intriguing trailer the other day and comes from acclaimed director Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Broken Flowers, Ghost Dog). Starring Isaach De Bankolé, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Gael Garcia Bernal and John Hurt (not a bad cast if you ask me), The Limits of Control follows a mysterious loner (and criminal) who's in the process of completing a job. Not a whole lot to go on there, but the best kept secrets are the ones that are, well, best kept secret.
Also, the music in the film is getting a lot of buzz; the Japanese trip Boris wrote and performed most of the songs, while Jarmusch wrote and performed -- along with Carter Logan (drums, percussion) and Shane Stoneback (carillon, organ) -- the music in the trailer. (Read more about that here.
