Name: Lorelei (Cocteau Twins Instrumental Cover) by Aisya & Aida
Duration: 3 min 18 s
Description: I completed an instrumental cover of Cocteau Twins' Lorelei last February for funsies and was about to record the vocals for it when I realised I don't (and probably never will) know what Elizabeth Fraser was actually singing. So I'll just stick this here. Y'all can do what you want with it, but let me know! I wanna hear what you can do with this.

The score for Only Lovers Left Alive -- a collaboration between SQÜRL (Jim Jarmusch, Carter Logan and Shane Stoneback) and Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem -- serves as a reflection of the distinct textures of Detroit and Tangier, bridging ancient and modern sounds, entangled and timeless.

Avant-Baroque lute weaves through twenty-first century guitar grit, heavy back beats, Moroccan percussion, synth bass, field recordings, and numerous sonic effects to create a cinematic tapestry.

Guest vocalist Madeline Follin (Cults) appears on SQÜRL’s syrup soaked re-interpretation of the Wanda Jackson hit “Funnel of Love." Zola Jesus's commanding vocal soars through Van Wissem’s "In Templum Dei." And Yasmine Hamdan’s intimate and evocative “Hal" was recorded on the set of the film and mixed by SQÜRL.

The film and soundtrack album were released worldwide in 2014, and quickly earned the group the Cannes Soundtrack Award from a consortium of film and music critics. In the years that have followed it has remained a favorite of critics and fans alike, who have continued to hunt down the limited vinyl copies in existence.

Film Synopsis:
Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangiers, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister. Can these wise but fragile outsiders continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them?

Tribute to David Bowie, recorded live at Rofl studios 27/01/18.
These recordings were produced as part of a session we did for promo videos. The goal of them was to get good quality sound, not possible in a gig environment, to showcase what we can do. All instruments were therefore played in one take. Originally, we planned on overdubbing vocals because we couldn't record them in the same room simultaneously, however, I did scratch vocals in the control room live to the takes from the guys playing and we decided to keep them for 3 of the 4 we did :D So only backing vocals have been overdubbed, essentially giving a good example of what we can play like live.
