If the sultry sounds of “Audrey’s Dance” haunt your dreams and nightmares but have never issued from your record player (do you even have a record player?), you’re in luck.
Death Waltz (obv the name of David Lynch’s record company of choice) is reissuing the 1990 vinyl recording of Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic Twin Peaks soundtrack. As anyone who has bookmarked the site Welcome to Twin Peaks knows, the record will be available for purchase through Mondo‘s website on August 10 and in stores on September 9.
This will be the first reprint of the legendary record in 25 years. This timing is either to build hype for the release of the feverishly anticipated third season of Twin Peaks in 2017, or an unstoppable, predestined fulfillment of Laura Palmer’s prophecy “I’ll see you again in 25 years.” You decide.
Today’s real Twin Peaks OST update though: Death Waltz has just released the record’s brand-new artwork and full tracklist (below). The remastered score is being pressed on beautiful 180g vinyl the color of milk-swirled coffee, and the cover design, by artist Sam Smith, references the tiled floor of the Black Lodge (home of the Red Room).
“I’m glad that after 25 years, Death Waltz Recording Company has re-released the original soundtrack for Twin Peaks for a new audience to enjoy,” said Badalamenti in a press release. “This is my defining work as a composer and I’m happy it will get a fresh listen.”
Also on the menu: fresh pie. Select record stores will be holding “Coffee & Cherry Pie Pre-Sale Evenings” on September 6.
