David Lynch may be busy putting the finishing touches on the “Twin Peaks” revival, but he’s had enough time to collaborate with singer Chrysta Bell on the upcoming Ep “Somewhere in the Nowhere.” Back in August the duo released the first track of the Lynch-produced album, and have now shared the music video for the song “Night Ride.”

The dark and sensual clip stars Bell and the video’s director, Joseph Skorman. The video follows the singer as she leaves the city, drives to the middle of nowhere, unburies a lover (Skorman) and then devours him, only to return him back to his buried location. The visual for “Night Ride” was inspired by B-horror movies, and you can take a look at it below, via Pitchfork.

Despite having not released a film since “Inland Empire” in 2006, director David Lynch has kept remarkably busy. Apart from directing the occasional Nine Inch Nails music video and reviving his acclaimed TV series “Twin Peaks,” Lynch has collaborated with singer Chrysta Bell on a new Ep called “Somewhere in the Nowhere,” which Lynch has written and produced. The project will be released on October 7th. Stream the song “Beat the Beat” from the release below.

This will not be the first time Lynch and Bell have worked together. Bell was featured on the “Inland Empire” soundtrack in 2007. Lynch later wrote and produced her debut album “This Train,” and just last year, Bell performed at the David Lynch Foundation concert in Los Angeles. Bell is also a part of the cast for the “Twin Peaks” revival.

David Lynch and Kanye West share an affinity for the surreal and shocking – and the two nearly combined their talents on a music video for "Blood on the Leaves," the eerie epic from West's latest LP, Yeezus. "We almost worked together, but I never got the ideas," Lynch told The Daily Beast in a recent interview. "I feel I let him down a little bit. I was going to do the music video...but it never happened. I didn't come up with any ideas that I thought he would like.

David Lynch knows exactly when he started transcendental meditation: "On July 1st, 1973, at about 11 am." Although Lynch is most famous as a director of delightfully twisted movies from Eraserhead to Inland Empire, he is also a painter, an actor (most recently on Louie), a coffee seller, and the founder of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace. The foundation is dedicated to spreading transcendental meditation (the practice developed by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who famously taught it to the Beatles)—particularly to groups at risk, such as the homeless,...

As I mentioned in my overview of 2013's best horror-friendly albums, it's been a bountiful year for terror tunes... and I wouldn't want to neglect the amazing visuals that accompanied so many of those sinister sounds. As there were legions of worthy candidates to chose from, and some genres tend to lean more heavily toward horror content than others, I decided my favorite vids from across the spectrum of musical categories – pop, Edm, alt-rock, metal, industrial, hip-hop, experimental and so on. I also went with alphabetical order by artist, to avoid the whole apples-to-oranges thing between musical styles. Many of these vids have been featured on our pages in 2013, while several made their world premieres right here. A few of these clips are totally unsafe for work viewing, but assuming you've got an age-appropriate viewing audience gathered around the monitor, it's time to shake your blood with a visual cornucopia of rock and shock.

Indiewire has exclusively learned that filmmaker and painter Austin Lynch, son to David, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance his latest project "Gray House," a hybrid drama that interweaves both documentary and narrative footage to frame a "conversation about nature, identity, consumerism and progress" (per the release). Lynch is looking for $25,000 to help fund his feature. Lynch worked with his father and filmmaker Jason S. on the Webby Award-winning series "Interview Project," and has also directed a 10-part documentary chronicling the production of Terrence Malick's "The New World," and "Making 'There Will Be Blood,'" a film about the making of Paul Thomas Anderson's Oscar-winning epic.

Our most recent encounter with David Lynch – that renaissance man of all things dark, bizarre and dreamy – was his surreal, confusing and lightly scary music video for Nine Inch Nails' single “Came Back Haunted,” which brought together some of Lynch's earliest creative themes (high-contrast photography, alien textures and horrific, distorted faces) and his more recent obsessions with digital animation. It's no surprise then that Lynch's own musical career, which includes collaborations with a wide assortment of artists, also brings together sounds and themes spanning his entire creative canon. His work with composer Angelo Badalamenti on films like Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive is the stuff of legend, and he previously worked with Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor on one of his most disturbing films, Lost Highway (my personal favorite, haters be damned). Over the past decade or so, he's devoted considerably more time to music, setting up his...

(Sunday Best)

As befits the auteur who created Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, this second solo album by David Lynch is a charming tour through the swinging hits of the 1970s. Only joking, it's actually a little dark. A fusion of blues and early rock'n'roll styles with electronic production techniques, you are dragged into an American wilderness where the land is parched, the sky crackles with electricity, and there's a pair of glowing red eyes watching you from a distance. Across this scene drifts Lynch's singing voice, high-pitched, largely distorted and croaking like a wizened fairground barker. Believe it or not, this is a step towards the mainstream for Lynch, whose first album, 2009's Crazy Clown Time, set the vocals to "deranged helium fiend". Indeed, this whole album feels less of an art stunt and more of a well-executed idea. The style does pall eventually, but a cover of Dylan's...

David Lynch's new album The Big Dream (the follow-up to 2011's Crazy Clown Time) drops next week (July 16 via Sacred Bones) but, per custom, it's streaming in full "official leak" style on Pitchfork Advance.

"Most of the songs start out as a type of blues jam and then we go sideways from there," said Lynch, describing the new album. "What comes out is a hybrid, modernized form of low-down blues."

David Lynch has unveiled new single 'Star Dream Girl'.

The track is the first official single from the director's upcoming second solo album The Big Dream.

It is available now as a double-a side digital single alongside 'Are You Sure'.

Lynch said: "After I moved away from Boise, Idaho, I came back in the summer of '61. Around that time, Jerry Lee Lewis was supposed to play at this big club in the Sagebrush Desert - I think it was called the Miramar. Back then, these big events would catch people's imaginations.

"They would take their motorcycles or hot rods to these remote places to see some star. So we all drove out to this place, but Jerry never showed up and people were really pissed off.

"'Star Dream Girl' has that same kind of charisma. People can't wait to see her and come from miles around."

What started as a musical experiment is flourishing into a full-on recording career for David Lynch. The legendary director of such films as Blue Velvet and Lost Highway is set to release his second album, The Big Dream, on July 16. The follow-up to his solo debut, 2011’s Crazy Clown Time, the album (distributed by Sacred Bones) features a cover of Bob Dylan’s "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" and a bonus track with Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li (hear it here). Lynch describes the collection as “modern blues.” It was recorded with engineer by Dean Hurley over several

Followup to Crazy Clown Time will be 'more confident' and feature a Dylan cover and a collaboration with Lykke Li

David Lynch is to release a second solo album, described as a "tighter" and "more confident" followup to 2011's Crazy Clown Time. The Big Dream, due on 15 July, includes a cover of a Bob Dylan song and a collaboration with Swedish indie star Lykke Li.

Whereas Lynch's last LP was generally portrayed as a weird dance album, The Big Dream is described as "a hybrid, modernised form of low-down blues". "Most of the songs start out as a type of blues jam and then we go sideways from there," Lynch said in a statement. "The blues is an honest and emotional form of music that is thrilling to the soul. I keep coming back to it because it feels so good."

Like Crazy Clown Time, The Big Dream was recorded with engineer Dean Hurley.

David Lynch is set to release a new solo record, his second. The Big Dream is out July 16 in the states and features 11 original songs, plus a cover of Bob Dylan’s “The Ballad Of Hollis Brown.” In a press release, Lynch described the sound of the record as “modern blues,” which sounds like a marked change from his last record, 2011’s electro-tinged Crazy Clown Time. Short clips of all the album’s tracks are streaming on iTunes, and one of the album’s bonus tracks—“I’m Waiting Here,” featuring Lykke Li—is streaming on Spotify ...

So a bit of good news/bad news for David Lynch fans. The good news is that he's got something new to share with you, the bad news is that it isn't a new movie. Nope, the director has instead cranked out another album, this time called The Big Dream, which is far less of a Lynch-ian name than his previous effort, Crazy Clown Time. But as usual, he's got some surprises up his sleeve. Most notably, he's teamed with Swedish sensation Lykke Li for "I'm Waiting Here," and while you can listen to it in advance, if you want to own it, you'll have to buy the digital or vinyl editions of the album. Meanwhile, Lynch also covers Bob Dylan's "The Ballad Of Hollis Brown" among the rest of the album which contains 11 original tunes. "Most of the songs start out as a type of blues jam and...

It's pretty much a no-brainer that any product from the legendary David Lynch is going to be more than a little bit creepy. Surrealism is his stock in trade, whether it's the groundbreaking experimental feature Eraserhead, sexy meta-horror films like Mulholland Drive, or his unforgettably insane TV series Twin Peaks. But over the last couple of years, Lynch has been spending a lot more time on his musical output – mainly his album Crazy Clown Time and a variety of multimedia projects tied to that record. The album itself is classic Lynch: dark, rumbling and repetitive bass lines, industrial noisescapes, punchy percussion, bluesy guitar leads (from the skillful Dean Hurley) and nightmarish production effects, with Lynch supplying most of the vocals on top, often digitally altered in bizarre and comical ways. While the recent video from that album's title track was a whacked-out stream of consciousness romp (including drunk topless women,...

In the early part of this century, Lynch spent a lot of time putting together his website David Lynch.com. Embracing the internet and the opportunities his own website afforded him, Lynch would make his own shorts available via this medium as well as the weird sitcom Rabbits and animated series Dumbland. Lynch also branched out into coffee sales as his own brand was launched and available through the website. His next film was an even more polarising and baffling effort than anything he had previously made.

Inland Empire (2006)

Financed completely independently and filmed over a period of two years on new digital HD camera’s Inland Empire was initially a collection of scenes cobbled together from both Lynch’s own website (the Rabbits shorts) and scenes he would film with Laura Dern. Eventually the project started to take on some form of narrative plot and Lynch filmed scenes involving...

Many people discuss David Lynch‘s films by describing them as bizarre or absurd and void of any rational explanation or meaning at times. While that’s certainly one way to look at them, other people might see a filmmaker exploring the dark underbelly of society. There’s a particular fascination for unearthing hidden secrets found in many of Lynch’s characters that makes each of his films intellectually stimulating while also existing as a lurid nightmare. The Montana filmmaker can just as easily be described as an artist more so than just simply a director. Over the years Lynch has focused his time on as many short/experimental films as his feature length projects while still avidly painting (which he originally studied before film), composing new music (he just released the album Crazy Clown Time this year), and owning a nightclub/bar in Paris. Ambitious doesn’t even begin...
