Jim Jarmusch and Anika
Father Mother Sister Brother – Original Soundtrack
Sacred Bones 370C1 – New LP on limited MAGENTA colored vinyl

Jim Jarmusch and Anika first crossed paths at the Sacred Bones 15th Anniversary celebration in 2022, where both Anika and SQRL performed. Jim was immediately struck by Anikas 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 Jarmuschs film Father Mother Sister Brother. Jim first invited Anika to record a cover of Jackson Brownes These Days, inspired by Nicos iconic version. This fully arranged track, prepared by Anika and featuring the Kaleidoskop string quartet, was recorded in Berlin and appears as a bonus track on the album as These Days (Berlin Version). Jim later mixed a more minimal version of the song, adding several electric guitar tracks. While in Berlin, Jim revealed to Anika that the only preexisting track in the film would be Dusty Springfields Spooky. Anika, who had performed a live version, suggested they cover it. The stripped-back version they created featuring just vocals, upright bass, finger snaps, and a distorted organ riff was chosen to open the films credits. Beyond these covers, much of the films score was born out of improvisation. Jim and Anika spent hours improvising together, leading to a second round of recordings in Berlin, where Anika played Wurlitzer and electric guitar and Jim contributed affected electric guitars. Upon returning to New York, Jim shaped these recordings into the short, evocative instrumental pieces that became the films score. The very final touches were completed during a residency Jim and Anika spent together in Paris via the Pompidou Center. The music for Father Mother Sister Brother is an experimental, collaborative soundscape, not meant to center around or define a single character. Instead, its atmospheric, like the air invisibly surrounding the characters.
