SQÜRL is an American rock band formed by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and musician Carter Logan. The group began as an improvisational collaboration to create music for Jarmusch's 2009 film "The Limits of Control," and they have since evolved into a prolific and exploratory force, with Jarmusch often handling electric guitar duties and Logan on drums and other instruments. The duo, renowned for their experimental and droning soundscapes, frequently collaborate with other musicians and have garnered critical acclaim for their work in the wider realm of soundtrack composition.

The group has shown a notable versatility in style, but their work tends to hover in the realms of noise rock and ambient, often marked by a hypnotic, avant-garde edge. Notable projects include the lauded "Only Lovers Left Alive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)," where their atmospheric and moody instrumentals provided a sonic backdrop to the vampire love story directed by Jarmusch. Further expanding their cinematic contributions, SQÜRL's "The Dead Don't Die (Original Score)" showcases their ability to create haunting and eerie moods that perfectly encapsulate the film's undead aesthetic. With releases like "EP #260" and "Some Music for Robby Müller," the band reaffirms its standing as an innovative and eclectic contributor to the contemporary music landscape, always ready to take listeners on an enigmatic auditory journey.
