If a theatrical re-release of Blue Velvet wasn’t enough to hold one over until next year, when we get what amounts to around 18 new hours of David Lynch-directed drama, we have some music to your ears today. Around a year ago, Los Angeles’ Ace Hotel held “The Music of David Lynch” concert, hosted by the Mulholland Dr. director’s foundation.
Featuring his go-to composer Angelo Badalamenti as well as Donovan, Karen O, Lykke Li, Duran Duran, Moby, The Flaming Lips, Twin Peaks (of course), and more as they cover various tracks from his work, it’s now been announced the show will get a double-LP vinyl release next week. While various low-quality recordings of it have made their way online since the concert, this will mark the first official release of the tracks, and we can’t wait to hear them.
Pre-order it here and check out the tracklist below (via Brooklyn Vegan), along with an analysis of Eraserhead and a video comparing the work of Maya Deren with Lynch.
