Xiu Xiu Plays the Music of Twin Peaks (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP
Polyvinyl Record Company
↳ tribute to the music of Twin Peaks form San Jose indie rockers
Haunting interpretations of the music of Twin Peaks from San Jose's Xiu Xiu. Originally commissioned by Queensland Gallery of Modern Art for a 2015 exhibition, "David Lynch: Between Two Worlds" and performed live, the band decided to record the covers in the studio. The result is some of the most haunting work that Xiu Xiu have ever turned in. Strangely listenable, the material should appeal to a wider audience than the band's usual crowd. The pairing is of the music from David Lynch's uncanny and beautiful TV series with the at times, challenging, band is a somewhat genius idea. Xiu Xiu is able to surpass the simple nostalgia that the show's music evokes and deliver something deeper. Twelve tracks in all. Released by Polyvinyl Record Company on white and clear vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a download code.
