We already know that much of Jim Jarmusch’s “The Limits of Control,” is going to feature the droney metal soundscapes of Boris, Sunn 0))) (both acts separately and together), Earth & The Black Angels (and Jarmusch acted as his own music supervisor and even wrote some of the music featured in the trailer).
According to a press release sent by Southern Lord records, who puts out albums by all the aforementioned acts (minus The Black Angels), the soundtrack is coming out on Lakeshore Records and they’ve provided all the details on what songs the bands on their label are providing.
We’ve learned that the soundtrack is tentatively scheduled for April 28, and admittedly it might our most anticipated soundtrack of the year (and we’re dying to see how the ambient hypnoticness is utilized in the surreal and moody sounding film; it sort of sounds like cinematic wetdream). Southern Lord reminds us that Jarmusch has used some doom-artists, as the band Sleep were briefly featured in “Broken Flowers.”
“The Limits Of Control” was scheduled for late May, but is now coming out May 1.
Southern Lord artist songs used in Limits of Control:
Boris – ” ” aka Smile (from the Japanese version of Smile, on Disk Union Records)
Boris – “Feedbacker I & IV” (from Feedbacker, on Disk Union Records)
Boris -“Fuzzy Reactor” (from Rainbow, on Disk Union Records)
Boris -“Farewell” (From Pink, on Southern Lord)
sunn 0)))/Boris – “N.L.T.” (From Altar, on Southern Lord)
sunn 0)))/Boris – “Blood Swamp” (From Altar, on Southern Lord)
