Johnny Jewel has released a surprise album.
'Themes For Television' is comprised of 21 tracks that he wrote when working on material for Twin Peaks: The Return. A physical release will follow on June 29 through Italians Do It Better.
Speaking about the record, Jewel said:
“I was about a year deep into recording what would become Windswept when I heard that David was making Season 3. It’s been a year since Chromatics performed at the Roadhouse. With disintegrated memory through the haze of television snow, I wanted to share a glimpse behind the red curtain.”
“The project began as a sonic exploration of the sounds I was hearing in my nightmares. I wanted to find my way out of the maze by focusing on beauty over fear — like the way the fractured sunrise looks in a dream.”
