David Lynch: Crazy Clown Time

The eccentric American director's debut album is as dark as his films, writes Killian Fox
  
  


The news that David Lynch was trying his hand at dance music, though strange, was made less so by the fact that the film-maker, one of America's great eccentrics, already had sidelines in visual art, coffee and weather reporting. The skies overhead on his debut album are dark and menacing for the most part: this is music to depopulate dancefloors, not fill them ("I'm so glad you're gone," he croaks on one typically slow-moving, blues-heavy number). Early single "Good Day Today" does yearn for a sunnier outlook, but Lynch fans will be pleased to learn that darkness and weirdness prevail.
