CD - Jim Jarmusch & Anika - Father Mother Sister Brother (Original Music From The Film)

1CD

Jim Jarmusch and Anika first crossed paths at the Sacred Bones 15th anniversary celebration in 2022, where both Anika and SQÜRL performed. Jim was immediately struck by Anika's performance, while Anika admired Jim as a mentor who had stayed true to his unique vision throughout his career. This mutual respect led to a creative collaboration, which culminated in the haunting soundtrack for Jarmusch's film "Father Mother Sister Brother".

Jim first invited Anika to record a cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days", inspired by Nico's iconic version (this version appears as a bonus track on the album). The soundtrack album features a mix of original material, including improvised instrumental pieces, as well as covers of "These Days" and Dusty Springfield's "Spooky". The music for "Father Mother Sister Brother" is an experimental, collaborative soundscape, not meant to center around or define a single character. Instead, it's atmospheric, like the air invisibly surrounding the characters.
