As he recalls it, the light became the lilt of Chrystabell’s voice and revealed a secret to him. It is from these mysterious convergences of light and sound, day and night, starry sky and black forest that Chrystabell and David’s collaboration has continued to blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor \u003ci\u003eCellophane Memories\u003c\/i\u003e, the two have traveled through different portals. Fittingly, many of the songs are set in fairytale forests, mountain peaks, swimming holes, crepuscular highways and darkened bedrooms. These are the abodes of both loneliness and romance, the sorts of sublime landscapes where people often travel alone in search of a wayward lover. But they are also shapeless atmospheres—of colour, weather and breath: blue and white skies, red roses, darkening thunderheads, swirling winds and summer perfumes, which quickly immerse the traveler in the supernatural sensations of other worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime is a mercurial creature in Chrystabell and David’s songs. The characters are little more than oblique sketches of time’s quotidian melodramas: people arrive and depart as strangers, strangers fall into despair and love, lovers part at the crossroads and reunite in a dream. In this quantum matinee of everyday life, each character is both a star and a background extra. Elisions in time reappear over and over within Chrystabell’s vocals, which emerge and dissolve and loop back in layers of harmony and history. They are mantled by David’s, and late composer Angelo Badalamenti’s, orchestra of waldeinsamkeit-inspired strings, oneiric guitar glissandi and clouds of reverb, whose melodies are like the sensation of time pausing for a first kiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with much of Chrystabell and David’s work from the past, \u003ci\u003eCellophane Memories\u003c\/i\u003e returns us to a central question: what is a mystery? Alas, the riddle remains unanswered. But all mystery contains slivers of those conceits and feelings described above: the departing and the coming-back, the landscape, atmosphere and breath, the topsy turvy mechanisms of time, memories of the bygone, a distant light radiating from darkness, music within silence, love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sacred Bones Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50426633879883,"sku":"2203287","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50450386452811,"sku":"2203288","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50426633355595,"sku":"2203286","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Cellophane_Memories_e65810ee_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727111335"},{"product_id":"room-to-dream-a-life","title":"Room to Dream: A Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this memoir, David Lynch - co-creator of \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e and writer and director of groundbreaking films like \u003ci\u003eEraserhead\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Elephant Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlue Velvet\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMulholland Drive\u003c\/i\u003e - opens up about a lifetime of extraordinary creativity, the friendships he has made along the way and the struggles he has faced - sometimes successful, sometimes not - to bring his projects to fruition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart-memoir, part-biography, \u003ci\u003eRoom to Dream\u003c\/i\u003e interweaves Lynch's own reflections on his life with the story of those times, as told by Kristine McKenna, drawing from extensive and explosive interviews with ninety of Lynch's friends, family members, actors, agents, musicians and collaborators.

'The Big Dream' is released on Sunday Best Recordings. The new album sees Lynch returning to primary songwriting and performance duties, writing 11 out of the album's 12 tracks. Also included in the lineup is Lynch's signature take on the Bob Dylan folk classic 'The Ballad of Hollis Brown'. 'The Big Dream' was recorded over several months at Lynch's own Asymmetrical Studio with engineer Dean Hurley, who also contributes production and instrumentation to the album. Describing his style of music as 'modern blues,' Lynch says the songwriting process for his new album was similar to his debut. \"Most of the songs start out as a type of blues jam and then we go sideways from there. What comes out is a hybrid, modernized form of low-down blues.\"Deluxe CD in gatefold card wallet with 12 page booklet.The double-LP set pressed on Heavyweight Vinyl and is accompanied by a bonus 7\" that contains the Lykke Li track on side A, and a visual etching on side B that was hand-inscribed directly into lacquer by Lynch exclusively for this release.

After the critical success of Mulholland Drive, director David Lynch doubled down on the medium, funneling virtually all of his time into personally animating, filming, and scoring content for his own internet destination: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/davidlynch.com\/\"\u003edavidlynch.com\u003c\/a\u003e. It was fertile and limitless ground for a creative like Lynch, allowing him to return to the days of his experimental film roots, where it was actually possible for him to have his hands on every element of the process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was out of this newfound digital freedom that the early seeds of Inland Empire were born, evolving and fissuring from an internet-bound experiment itself, into something much more expansive. The film collated a variety of ideas and working methods that the recent web paradigm had nurtured in Lynch, one of which was an increased frequency of his own solo music productions. Having finished constructing his own personal recording studio in 1998, he was no longer tethered to the scheduling and high premiums of rented studio time and was free to accelerate his musical experimentation without constraint. As a direct result of this was a unique shift in Lynch’s musical trajectory; a shift that would eventually bear multiple albums and a short film featuring a lounge-crooning monkey. In the first weeks of 2005, Lynch would record a blues instrumental and instead of getting someone else to sing on the song, he would sing, via a formant and pitch-altering piece of equipment known as the Boss VT-1. It was because of the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/davidlynch.com\/\"\u003edavidlynch.com\u003c\/a\u003e animated series “Dumbland” that the director had discovered the device that would enable him to be ‘any character he needed.’ With “Ghost of Love,” Lynch was experimenting with bringing those ‘characters’ into his own musical compositions. In true Lynch fashion, it’s difficult to know which inspired which: did “Ghost of Love” birth a scene in Inland Empire, or did the film’s ideas birth the song? Just as “In Heaven” had served to encapsulate Eraserhead, “Ghost of Love” managed to encapsulate Inland Empire allowing its listener to close their eyes and immediately channel the film’s images and mood onto the screen of the mind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ghost of Love” is backed with “Imaginary Girl,” originally released via CD single in 2006 are now finally seeing their vinyl and digital release for the first time in celebration of Inland Empire’s 2022 theatrical re-release. Both are signature cinematic Lynchian classics that feature Lynch on guitar and vocals, accompanied by his long-time collaborator and Sacred Bones staple Dean Hurley on bass. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sacred Bones Records","offers":[{"title":"Silver | 7\"","offer_id":50490706919755,"sku":"1152143","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bbf91f76-590a-42c5-8bf3-febe830d4e79_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727671019"},{"product_id":"wild-at-heart-1","title":"Wild at Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cb\u003eDavid Lynch\u003c\/b\u003e adapting \u003ci\u003eBarry Gifford\u003c\/i\u003e, this is wild-hearted, strange, and utterly gripping. \u003cb\u003eLaura Dern\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eNicolas Cage\u003c\/b\u003e burn through the film as Lula and Sailor, outlaw lovers chasing freedom across a menacing South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir reckless romance crashes into a world of violence, desire, and depravity, with \u003cb\u003eLynch\u003c\/b\u003e pushing his nightmarish vision of Americana into delirious new territory.
