When Julee Cruise died last year on June 9, David Lynch fans lost another of the essential, even inextricable collaborators who became a part of their lives as a result of being part of his art. Her ethereal singing is synonymous with both “Blue Velvet” and the many incarnations of “Twin Peaks,” the latter of whose title theme she performed. If Cruise’s absence from the physical plane runs the risk of dimming her star in our collective memories, Sacred Bones’ vinyl reissue of her 1989 album “Floating Into the Night” offers a welcome opportunity to restore it to its full luster by letting listeners experience her work anew — carrying the legacy of her and Lynch’s historic collaboration, but unencumbered by the images he paired with her music.

Sacred Bones Records has announced a vinyl reissue of the late Julee Cruise’s debut album (and unofficial Twin Peaks soundtrack) Floating into the Night, out on August 11th.
The reissue will be available in pink and black vinyl variants. Pre-orders are ongoing. Watch the commercial Sacred Bones put together for the release below.
Originally released in September 1989, Floating into the Night was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with lyrics written by David Lynch. The lead single, “Falling,” was used as the Twin Peaks theme song, while Cruise performed another track, “Rockin’ Back Inside My Heart,” during a crucial episode in which the identity of Laura Palmer’s killer was finally revealed.
Other tracks featured in Twin Peaks include “Into the Night,” “The Nightingale,” and “The World Spins.” Prior to the album’s release, Lynch had used “Mysteries of Love” in his 1986 film Blue Velvet.

Angelo Badalamenti, the composer best known for composing the score for the TV series Twin Peaks, has died aged 85.
He died of natural causes on Sunday (11 December), his family said in a statement.
As well as his work on Twin Peaks, Badalamenti composed a number of scores for other David Lynch films, including Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Drive (2001).
He made cameos in both films, starring as the coffee-loving gangster Luigi Castigliane in Mulholland Drive, and playing piano with Isabella Rossellini in Blue Velvet.
In his lifetime, the Brooklyn-born composer worked with musicians such as Nina Simone, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Shirley Bassey, Marianne Faithfull, Liza Minnelli, Pet Shop Boys and LL Cool J.
As a child, Badalamenti grew up listening to Italian opera with his family. He began piano lessons at eight years old and went on to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Manhattan School of Music.

The further we get away from the premiere of its pilot, the harder it is to understand how David Lynch and Mark Frost's "Twin Peaks" briefly seized the imaginations of American television viewers. On April 8, 1990, the 90-minute pilot scored what would be the highest single movie rating of the 1989-90 network season. Throughout that month, the show found its way onto the cover of just about every major mainstream magazine, regardless of the periodical's emphasis. People who would've run screaming from Lynch's "Blue Velvet" were enthralled by the series' central "Who Killed Laura Palmer" mystery. They fell in love with Kyle MacLachlan's charmingly idiosyncratic FBI Agent Dale Cooper and Sherilyn Fenn's high school hellion Audrey Horne. They threw viewing parties with coffee, donuts and pie.

When Marianne Faithfull first saw David Lynch’s TV series, Twin Peaks, its music struck her at once. “It was just outstanding and so good and exactly the sort of music I wanted to do,” she tells Rolling Stone by phone from her London home. “I was so pleased. I thought, ‘Here’s a man I really want to work with.'” So she asked her manager to track down the series’ composer, Angelo Badalamenti.

When Angelo Badalamenti, composer and renowned collaborator of filmmaker-musician David Lynch, died on Sunday at age 85, he left behind some of the most evocative soundscapes known to cinema. Lustrous orchestration and small combo jazz sounds for Lynch works such as “Blue Velvet” and “Twin Peaks” tweaked the senses while underscoring the grotesquerie below the surface of the American dream. But there was so much more to Badalamenti than his sweeping cinematic ambience for a single filmmaker.
Here is a list of some of Angelo Badalamenti’s finest musical moments, with and without David Lynch.
The Slow Club scene in “Blue Velvet” and “Mysteries of Love” (1986)
Along with a cameo appearance as the pianist/band leader at the Slow Club where the tortured Dorothy Valens (played by Isabella Rossellini) sings, Badalamenti starts off her musical rendition of “Blue Velvet” as a sleazy lounge song, all blowzy saxophone and off-the-beat rhythms, before segueing into the tempered,...

Angelo Badalamenti found worldwide fame with the Twin Peaks theme
The composer who created the theme for Twin Peaks and much, much more, Angelo Badalamenti, has died at the age of 85, it was announced today. He held several of the top awards in his profession and was admired by musicians around the world.
Born in New York, Badalamenti began playing piano at the age of eight and never looked back. He rose to fame due to his creative partnership with David Lunch, composing the soundtracks for Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Lost Highway, The Straight Story and Mulholland Drive. He had small acting roles in Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive and collaborated with the singer Julee Cruise, who died earlier this year, on further music connected to Twin Peaks.

Angelo Badalamenti, the Grammy-winning composer who brought viewers the scores to such beloved projects as "Twin Peaks," "Mulholland Drive," and "Blue Velvet," has died, his niece has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. The musician, who died of natural causes in his family home in New Jersey on Sunday, was 85 years old.
Badalamenti had a storied career: he made his film composing debut in 1973, on the film "Gordon's War," and went on to contribute music to over 90 different films and television shows. But his talent was recognized most often by frequent collaborator David Lynch, who, according to the late composer's official website, first hired him in 1986 to work as a vocal coach for "Blue Velvet" songstress Isabella Rossellini. The pair struck up a productive partnership that has carried them through several decades; after crafting the distinctive "Twin Peaks" theme song, Badalamenti returned to score the series' masterful sequel season in 2017.

Kyle MacLachlan is remembering his “Twin Peaks” co-star Al Strobel, who passed away at the age of 83 on December 2.
Strobel famously played Phillip Gerard, aka the “one-armed man,” on the series co-created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. Strobel reprised the cult-favorite role for Lynch’s 2017 “Twin Peaks: The Return.” Strobel’s death was announced on Facebook by “Twin Peaks: The Return” producer Sabrina S. Sutherland.
“I am sad to have to post that Al Strobel passed away last night. I loved him dearly,” Sutherland wrote on December 3. “Through the darkness of future past and much sadness we say goodbye to Al Strobel. He is an irreplaceable human being and will always be an important part of our ‘Twin Peaks’ family.”

Before she met Lynch, Del Rio’s only hit was in the Netherlands. But her sorrowful singing in Mulholland Drive changed everything. She talks about the death of her son, being homeless and overcoming life’s hurdles
“I am sort of an emo – I love Morrissey,” admits Rebekah Del Rio. This is no surprise, given the way most of us were introduced to her. In David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, she plays the sorrowful singer La Llorona de Los Angeles, who appears in a pivotal scene with a heart-rending Spanish-language rendition of Roy Orbison’s ballad Crying. No matter your personal theory about Mulholland Drive – is the plot a Möbius strip with no beginning or end? – the scene at Club Silencio is the crux of the film.

With U.K. dream-pop pioneers Cocteau Twins, singer Elizabeth Fraser’s appeal had more to do with the way she projected raw emotions (joy, worry, uneasiness) than the songs she sang. Instead of attempting poetry, she sang in tongues, shaping her feelings with crude but often beautiful vocal sounds, and a few occasional words in English, which entwined themselves around her bandmates Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde’s fantasias. (Did she really say “silly, silly saliva”?) You didn’t listen to Cocteau Twins so much as you felt them. Fraser...

Some time since a celebrity death hit like Julee Cruise. Though rightfully known and loved for her appearances in Twin Peaks—series, film, series again—her work, most often with David Lynch, goes deeper. Namely Cruise’s first two records, Floating Into the Night and The Voice of Love, which are greater than most things in this life, a murderer’s-row assembly of Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti that’s nevertheless subservient to Cruise’s voice—a force for which I simply lack vocabulary but might, perhaps, contextualize by suggesting a big bang: nobody before sounded like her and many since have tried—failed—to do the same.

David Lynch paid tribute to late musical collaborator Julee Cruise, the singer behind the “Twin Peaks” theme “Falling,” who died this week at the age of 65.
“I just found out that the great Julee Cruise passed away. Very sad news,” Lynch said in a video posted on his David Lynch Theater YouTube page. “So might be a good time to appreciate all the good music she made, and remember her as being a great musician, great singer, and a great human being. Julee Cruise.”
Cruise died on June 10 after battling systemic lupus. Her husband Edward Grinnan confirmed Cruise’s death. “She left this realm on her own terms,” he penned on Facebook. “No regrets. She is at peace. I played her [B-52’s song] ‘Roam’ during her transition. Now she will roam forever. Rest in peace, my love.”
Cruise famously sang “Falling,” which was used as the theme song to Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.

Julee Cruise, one of David Lynch’s go-to musicians who sang on a version of the “Twin Peaks” theme song “Falling” that became a hit in Europe, has died, her husband said. She was 65.
Husband Edward Grinnan wrote on Facebook: “She left this realm on her own terms. No regrets. She is at peace.”
“Falling” was an instrumental written by “Twin Peaks” soundtrack and score maestro Angelo Badalamenti. Unlike the frenetic, high-energy theme songs and sequences of the era, he 1990 hit show’s opening song was a hypnotic, lilting tone-poem played over images of a waterfall, signaling a … different kind of network TV program.

Chukotka, where Indigenous teenager Lyoshka lives a hardscrabble life in a remote whaling village, is the easternmost part of Russia. Beautiful in a forbidding, raw-boned way, with about half its territory above the Arctic Circle, it is separated from the westernmost Alaskan reaches of America by just 86 kilometers. But the cultural distance is immeasurably more vast, and only increased when Lyoshka’s village gets the internet, and, in an amusing tableau worthy of Aki Kaurismäki, burly men in weathered oilskins cluster round a glitchy screen on which blond camgirls pout in pink bedrooms for pay-per-minute customers.
The clash between the bleak traditional lifestyle of the villagers, who still use hand-tossed harpoons to secure their catch, reddening the sea, and the futurist fantasy of a Detroit-based online sex work enterprise is explored in uneven yet stirring ways in Philipp Yuryev’s feature debut, “The Whaler Boy.” , which perhaps convince most when they do not cohere.

To skin a quote from The Social Network, it’s probably better to be accused of necrophilia these days than to be accused of whaling. Less so in the world of The Whaler Boy—a new Russian film tantalizingly set in that vast nation’s furthest reaches—wherein a young lad contends with the hormones and boredoms of rural life while casting longing looks to the West. The subject of his longings is an American Camgirl with the handle HollySweet999. Oh, to be young and feel love’s keen sting.
The Whaler Boy is the first feature of Philipp Yuryev, a 30-year-old filmmaker from Moscow, which lies some 4000 miles West of this film’s alien landscape. The location is a real doozy, especially for anyone who, in some quiet moment, glanced to that spot on the dateline where Alaska and Russia almost touch and wondered how many souls had attempted the hop over.

David Lynch’s year of oddball contributions continues apace. Following the unearthing of a 25-year-old, generally awesome album, Thought Gang, he’s debuted a new piece / short film / visualizer / what-have-you springing from that endeavor.
Titled Ant Head, it has been vividly described by the man as “a short video featuring my friends the ants along with cheese, etc.” That “etc.” includes, somewhat unsurprisingly, a still, black-and-white image of power lines and electric poles, while the cheese holds (I swear I’m not joking) some auteurist interest: this combination of ants and fromage recalls Julee Cruise’s Lynch-penned album The Voice of Love, whose cover image consisted of a chicken-and-cheese ball Lynch used to attract ants — which some would say led to the, I guess, head in his video for Nine Inch Nails’ “Came Back Haunted,” which definitely led to the new Arm in Twin Peaks.

About three decades ago, filmmaker David Lynch fashioned a small head out of raw chicken and cheese, wrapped it in mortician’s wax, and stuck it on a wire in his kitchen. He had an ant problem at the time and filmed the head as the six-legged creatures “emptied the head out, working day and night,” as he recently told Rolling Stone. He used the finished head for the album cover of singer Julee Cruise’s 1993 record, The Voice of Love. And he liked the experiment so much he recently...

It will now come out digitally and on LP and CD on November 2nd.

Now that “Twin Peaks: The Return” is over, actors have started to break their silence on the audacious David Lynch series. Kyle MacLachlan has already gone on record saying he’s still processing the wild two-part finale and that he’d be willing to return to the role of Dale Cooper should Lynch want to continue, and now it appears Laura Dern is right there with him. The actress joined Entertainment Weekly’s “Twin Peaks” podcast and admitted it’s been hard to say goodbye to her character, Cooper’s former assistant and love interest Diane, and she’d be ready to return for Season 4 if she got the call from Lynch.
“I’ll never say no to David, and I’ll never say no to Diane because now I’ve fallen in love with her,” Dern said. “So it would be impossible for me not to want to...

Among David Lynch’s many muses – Kyle Maclachlan, Laura Dern, Everett McGill, et al – Julee Cruise feels like one of the most important and ephemeral: her haunting songs anchored the soundtrack for the original “Twin Peaks,” and amplified the dreamlike atmosphere of “Blue Velvet” and, later, “Fire Walk With Me.” But the singer was none too pleased about the way Lynch treated her in Part 18 of “Twin Peaks: The Return,” according to a Facebook post Cruise made Sunday after the finale aired on Showtime.

David Lynch and “Twin Peaks” composer Angelo Badalamenti started Julee Cruise’s music career after they helped produce and write compositions for her 1989 debut album, “Floating into the Night.” The music from the lead single, “Falling,” became the iconic theme for the series, while Lynch also featured Cruise and the song “The World Spins” during the show’s run. Lynch jumpstarted Cruise’s popularity, and now it appears he’s wronged her and ended their friendship.

“Twin Peaks: The Return” was as much about the musical acts as it was about the returning actors or Agent Dale Cooper. This included performances from Eddie Vedder, Trent Reznor and of course, Julee Cruise, who sang “Falling,” the theme song for the show and was a longtime David Lynch collaborator. However, after her appearance on Part 17 on Sunday, where she performed “The World Spins,” a song made famous by the original show, Cruise had some choice words for Lynch and the show, which she called a “slap in the face.” “I’m done… and I could care less about Tp,...

With the season finale distinctly divided into two separate episodes, Part 17 of Twin Peaks: The Return is unquestionably the more climactic of the two. Considering the unhurried pace at which David Lynch and Mark Frost eased into Cooper’s return in Part 16 (and, well, the entire series), the pacing of this episode is practically breakneck.
