Iconic director Jim Jarmusch is turning up the volume once again. The legendary filmmaker behind indie cinematic classics has teamed back up with Dutch composer and lute master Jozef Van Wissem to announce a massive musical endeavor. The pair revealed they are dropping two interconnected full-length projects simultaneously this coming autumn. To launch the official countdown to the twin releases, the duo unleashed their lead single, "Never Like You Said," giving fans a first taste of their latest sonic direction. Making the track even more compelling, Australian indie rocker Courtney Barnett joins the pair to lend her distinctive vocal magic and musical sensibilities to the cut.
What Are Jim Jarmusch and Jozef Van Wissem's New Albums?
The upcoming joint records are titled *Bocca di Lupo* and *Mouth Of The Wolf*, serving as dual companion pieces. Reports confirm both albums will arrive side by side later this fall, creating an expansive listening experience that builds on the pair's long-standing creative partnership. Jarmusch and Van Wissem have built a reputation for crafting mesmerizing, avant-garde soundscapes that blend classical string work with modern cinematic grandeur. By bringing Barnett into the fold for the lead single, the duo elevates their haunting style into a fresh crossover moment for indie rock and experimental music fans alike.
Who Featured on the Lead Single "Never Like You Said"?
Barnett’s feature on "Never Like You Said" marks another high-profile project in an already packed year for the singer-songwriter. Earlier in the season, the musician treated listeners to her own full-length effort, *Creature Of Habit*, cementing her status as one of indie rock's most reliable and evocative voices. With "Never Like You Said" streaming now, listeners can get their first taste of what Jarmusch, Van Wissem, and Barnett have cooked up. The complete double-album package, *Bocca di Lupo / Mouth Of The Wolf*, is slated to make its official debut on streaming services and physical formats later this autumn.
