Down By Law

A cult classic reissued for a new generation of cinephiles and jazz lovers alike, Down By Law / Variety brings together two of John Lurie’s most evocative soundtrack works in one essential package. Originally composed for Jim Jarmusch’s Down By Law and Bette Gordon’s Variety, Lurie’s unmistakable blend of downtown jazz, noir ambiance, and minimalist tension paints vivid sonic landscapes that stand on their own—well beyond the screen.

This Klimt reissue resurrects the moody charm and off-kilter cool that made these scores iconic in the 1980s underground film scene. With contributions from Lurie’s Lounge Lizards collaborators and a raw, improvisational edge, this LP is a must-have for fans of experimental soundtracks, No Wave jazz, and cinematic atmosphere.

Pressed on quality vinyl with restored artwork, this edition ensures the music remains as hypnotic and haunting as ever.
