Albums
David Lynch’s remarkable film career has been permeated by an uncanny use of music, from Blue Velvet’s psychotic Frank Booth demanding Roy Orbison songs to the ultra sinister techno-blues roadhouse of the Twin Peaks movie. His debut solo album is closer in tone to the latter, with a default setting of loping swamp blues tinged with electronics and eccentricity, most notably on the falsetto title track. It’s all very similar – twangy guitars, a sedate metronomic rhythm, oddball vocals – albeit quite enjoyable. Only the Kraftwerk-esque vocoder piece ‘Strange And Unproductive Thinking’ goes off-piste, but that’s fine because the mood Lynch creates throughout seduces you into his low-lit midnight netherworld.
