Last week, David Lynch revealed he has a new project for fans “to see and hear.” It turns out that project is not a film, but a new collaborative LP with Chrystabell, which is titled Cellophane Memories and comes out August 2 via Sacred Bones Records. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Sublime Eternal Love’ and its Lynch-directed video. Watch and listen below.
“The origin of Chrystabell and David Lynch’s album Cellophane Memories comes from a vision that David experienced during a nighttime walk through a forest of tall trees, over the tops of which he saw a bright light,” according to a press release. “As he recalls it, the light became the lilt of Chrystabell’s voice and revealed a secret to him. It is from these mysterious convergences of light and sound, day and night, starry sky and black forest that Chrystabell and David’s collaboration has continued to blossom.”
In her words, Chrystabell said the album contains “many doors that are left open to wonder, wander and get turned around in.” She added, “It’s like mood music, not that it creates mood, but more that it reflects your own.”
Cellophane Memories is Lynch’s first album since 2018’s Thought Gang, a collaboration with the late composer Angelo Badalmenti. Lynch and Chrystabell first worked together on the soundtrack for 2006’s Inland Empire, and Lynch worked on Chrystabell’s 2011 debut LP This Train as well as her 2016 effort Somewhere in the Nowhere. Chrystabell also played an FBI agent in 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return.
