An enthusiastically marginal rock band from New York City who like big drums & broken guitars, cassette recorders, loops, , sad country songs, molten stoner core, chopped & screwed hip-hop, and imaginary movie scores
SQÜRL began in 2009 when Jim and Carter teamed with producer/engineer Shane to record some original music for the film THE LIMITS OF CONTROL. Echoing the varied Spanish landscapes captured in the film, the three emerged with a set of slow-motion psychedelic rock’n’roll songs (releasing them as Bad Rabbit).
Following these scoring sessions Jim, Shane, and Carter continued to record new originals while also exploring the back-alleys of American country, noise, and psychedelia. Now having changed their name to SQÜRL the group has readied a series of EPs of these songs, recorded over a 3 year period by Shane at Treefort Recording in Brooklyn, NY.
In 2013, SQÜRL collaborated with Jozef Van Wissem to score the film ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE. The film and soundtrack album were released worldwide in 2014.
