Jozef Van Wissem and Jim Jarmusch have teamed up once again in their latest album, The Day the Angels Cried, which showcases their deep friendship and shared backgrounds in avant-garde minimalism. With Van Wissem’s distinctive lute playing and Jarmusch’s unique guitar stylings, the album draws inspiration from recent global crises, particularly referencing visions of angels amidst wildfires. Released on June 6, 2023, the album is available in various formats and will be supported by a series of live performances across multiple cities.
Given their previous collaborations and Jarmusch’s diverse filmography, one might wonder: how do you think their artistic synergies influence the overall themes explored in their music and films?
