David Lynch: Crazy Clown Time

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.
