Music / NewsThere’s a Twin Peaks covers album comingAngelo Badalamenti's iconic score to David Lynch's TV series is getting a radical overhaul by California noise band Xiu XiuShareLink copied ✔️March 9, 2016MusicNewsTextSelim Bulut Twin Peaks finished airing its initial run 25 years ago, but its iconic, Grammy-winning soundtrack — composed by longtime David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti — has proven incredibly influential in the years since it ended. Literally hundreds of bands have evoked Badalamenti's smoky atmosphere or channelled Julee Cruise's lush vocals, but few have taken their fandom to the extremes of Californian noise band Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu's Plays the Music of Twin Peaks is a 12-track album featuring radical reinterpretations of tracks from the series (and its prequel film, Fire Walk With Me), including the stirring “Laura Palmer's Theme”, a blend of rockabilly tracks “Blue Frank” and “The Pink Room”, and the hair-raising “Sycamore Trees”. The band have already been touring the soundtrack live, having originally been commissioned to reinterpret the music for a Lynch retrospective at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art. You can listen to to Xiu Xiu's version of Twin Peaks' instantly-recognisable theme song “Falling” below, and look out for the full release on Record Store Day (April 16). It should, at the very least, tide you over until season three next year. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
