The Dead Don't Die soundtrack: The definitive guide to the full score of the movie

The Dead Don't Die was far from a typical zombie film when it was first released in 2019, and looking back, it is still one of the most offbeat zombie movies to ever be released. Helmed by the legendary Jim Jarmusch, the absurdist zombie comedy has since achieved a cult status.

Barring the offbeat premise and a star cast that was led by Bill Murray and Adam Driver, the movie had many elements that made it stand out. This included a brilliant soundtrack, which was headed by Sqürl, a rock band that Jarmusch himself is a part of, alongside film associate Carter Logan and sound engineer Shane Stoneback.

Previously, they had worked in composition for other films by the legendary director, like The Limits of Control and Only Lovers Left Alive. So without further ado, let us check out the entire soundtrack for The Dead Don't Die, which remains a classic even today.
