The soundtrack is to be released by Lakeshore Records, and some online retailers are already taking pre-orders, with an April 28 release date.

The Playlist has posted some more info about the soundtrack, quoting "an early graph of the press notes", where Jarmusch talks about his choice of music:

“I have a file of the music that I think is appropriate atmospherically for each film, and that has inspired me even before shooting. I pick the music, so there’s no music supervisor per se…When I was writing 'The Limits of Control,' I was already imagining using some things from Boris and Sunn O))), and Earth and The Black Angels. I made [director of photography] Chris Doyle CDs so he could listen to Boris; you could categorize Boris as a psychedelic/noise/metal band, but they’re just so original.”
