Earth, Sunn O))) for new Jarmusch film

Award-winning indie film director Jim Jarmusch has revealed that the soundtrack for his latest film, The Limits Of Control, is to feature a clutch of Southern Lord artists, including Boris, Sunn O))), and Earth.

Two tracks from the Sunn O))) and Boris collaboration Altar are included (‘NLT’ and ‘Blood Swamp’), but Boris also appear with four efforts taken from their Feedbacker, Rainbow, Pink, and Smile albums. Earth rounds things off with ‘Omens and Portents 1: The Driver’, from last year’s The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull.

Austin psych-revivalists The Black Angels are also rumoured to feature.

The Limits Of Control stars Isaach De Bankole as a loner criminal who journeys across Spain trying to complete a job, the details of which he won’t divulge to anyone, audience included. De Bankole has appeared in three of Jarmusch’s films, and in The Limits Of Control, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, and John Hurt also reprise their work with the director.

Jarmusch is known for his esoteric music taste, and through movies like Stranger Than Pararise, Coffee And Cigarettes, and Broken Flowers, he has done much to popularise the work of everyone from Screamin’ Jay Hawkins to Ethiopian jazz musician Mulatu Astatke. With this latest movie, he has once again refused to work with a music supervisor, instead choosing to curate the soundtrack himself.

The Limits Of Control is released on 22 May. Watch the trailer here.
