Twin Peaks 2017 musicians, artists, bands mixtape

Julee Cruise may be getting company from Sky Ferreira and Chrysta Bell at the Roadhouse, and Nine Inch Nails could very well be the new house band at the Power And The Glory. And maybe the FBI enlisted a new batch of rock and roll agents like Eddie Vedder and Trent Reznor since agents Chet Desmond (Chris Isaak) and Phillip Jeffries (David Bowie) mysteriously disappeared.

But instead of writing and speculating about the numerous musicians on the mammoth Twin Peaks 2017 cast list, I decided to present them through a mixtape featuring their most David Lynch-conjuring work. Opener “Powder Blue” by The Cactus Blossoms, for instance, effortlessly evokes Blue Velvet’s title sequence. You’ll detect hints of Angelo Badalamenti in Trent Reznor’s cinematic instrumentals, or even direct Twin Peaks quotes in Sky Ferreira’s “Night Time, My Time.” Admittedly, “Nothing As It Seems” by Pearl Jam was selected because of its title, yet it emerges out of Chromatics’ Last Wish as if it was hiding in there like… BOB?

David Lynch himself pops up more than once, playing the guitar on Chrysta Bell’s “Real Love” and “Swing With Me,” and on Rebekah Del Rio’s “No Stars” which he co-wrote with John Neff. And how else to conclude this eclectic 82-minute mixtape than with a song by one of his favorite artists and basically the precursor to Julee Cruise’s “Falling,” Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” covered by… Monica Belucci!

The majority of these 25 tracks are by recording artists and/or their bands we get to see -whether on stage or not- in the new series, but it also includes songs performed by new cast members that just fit the mixtape’s dark and melancholic mood. One thing’s for sure: many of these musicians would’ve never shared a track list if it wasn’t for the series coming back! So enjoy this trip through the cast of Twin Peaks 2017 and who knows, it may provoke some visions of new mysteries…

Twin Peaks fan? Like moody, brooding dream pop punctuated by occasional bursts of frenetic jazz and experimental noise, topped with a dollop or two of vaguely creepy golden oldie? Well then, this is the perfect packet of artificial sweetener to drop into your Friday morning grind.

    Great collection of music. My dream is that one day, BEACH HOUSE will make some music for Twin Peaks.

  2. Colin says:

    This is awesome, great job to who put this mix together, it matches the feel and sound of twin peaks

  3. B says:

    Atticus Ross’band, 12 Rounds has asong called “Where Fools Go”. That would be perfect for the mix if it isn’t on there already.

  4. zen guerrilla says:

    nice

  5. MORPHINE says:

    I hope Badalamenti will come back to do the soundtrack for the new Season.

  6. Mariel says:

    Missed David Lynch & Lykke Li – I’m Waiting Here.

  7. Mvatte says:

    why not lana del rey

    • Avatar photo Twin Pie says:

      Lana Del Rey is not included in the mix because she’s not part of the new Twin Peaks cast, unlike the other singers and musicians. I agree some of her music would fit right into the world of David Lynch.

  8. Andrew says:

    Oh also, “Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires” – Cocteau Twins. Has a dark and mystical vibe that reminds me of the way the second season ends, and of the mysteriousness of the woods in general.

  9. Andrew says:

    ^whoops sorry that was supposed to be a comment on the Nighttime at the Roadhouse post!!

  10. Andrea says:

    You should sell this in actual physical format. I would buy it. Definitely. My log would, too.

  11. Melanie says:

    The best playlist I’ve ever heard!
