Synopsis

Product Description
A long-time pet project of film director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive), Fox Bat Strategy features a cast of musicians who began collaborating with Lynch surrounding the filming of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The same line-up of players appeared on Fire Walk With Me's two roadhouse cuts: "The Pink Room" and "Blue Frank" (as well as made cameos in the film itself). In 1994, these same musicians, with an invitation from Lynch, re-entered the studio for experimental collaboration. What emerged were these 6 tracks. For nearly fifteen years these songs have remained unreleased and unheard, slow-cooking in the ether of time, all the while retaining a uniquely modern sensibility. This release is a tribute to the album's late singer and guitarist Dave Jaurequi, who passed away suddenly in 2006.

Black as midnight on a moonless night.

(5 out of 5 stars)

""HELLO. I WAS WONDERING IF I MIGHT TROUBLE YOU FOR A CUP OF STRONG BLACK COFFEE AND IN THE PROCESS ENGAGE YOU WITH AN ANECDOTE OF NO SMALL AMUSEMENT. THE NAME IS GORDON COLE AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE YOU FROM THE BOOTH. AND .. WELL, SEEING YOUR BEAUTY NOW I FEEL AS THOUGH MY STOMACH IS FILLED WITH A TEAM OF BUMBLEBEES."



I simply had to preface this review with a quote from Twin Peaks as this album has hit the spot in me which is accessed by David Lynch's artistry alone. Simply put, this music is on display here is dreamy, dark, and reeks of that 50s cool which Lynch can distill like no other. Nothing here would seem out of place on either the soundtrack to Twin Peaks or in a jukebox in the series. I myself was hoping at first that Lynch would sing his lyrics as I was greatly fond of his contribution on Dark Night of the Soul, but I was very pleasantly surprised by Dave Jaurequi's voice. He simply percolates on this record and the result is a smooth and vaguely haunting voice that simply works wonders with this material. As Dave himself passed away in 2006, this album brings to light his talent and showcases it for everyone all the while providing a terrific trip down memory lane. Order up a cherry pie and listen to this album and aside from the quality of the pie itself, you won't be let down."
