Compared to the original series, the music ofTwin Peaks: The Returnis a much different beast.
The 90s show was scored almost wall-to-wall by composer and longtime David Lynch collaborator, Angelo Badalamenti.
However, occasionally, Badalamentis tracks from the old series are simply brought back as is.
Theres the shows main theme, of course.
The same was true for the surprise, lone usage of Audreys Dance.
Though still somber and weighty, some of the new score hints at hopefulness.
A crucial element of Lynchs work is that hes obsessed with audio and video equally.
As mentioned, he did the sound design forThe Returnhimself.
It makes for a robust and varied soundtrack.
His last film,Inland Empire, had a song by Beck.
The Chromatics closed out the second half of the series premiere with their dreamy, haunting synth-driven music.
Another band with a similar sound is Au Revoir Simone.
Both artists were featured twice at the Roadhouse, which isnt too surprising.
Spooky synth is Lynchs bread and butter.
The Roadhouse feels, throughoutThe Returns entire run, otherworldly.
Its unclear how much of what happens there takes place in reality.
Darker scenes in the Roadhouse are accompanied by driving, aggressive rock.
Finally, theres The Veils Axolotl, an assaulting track with a halting, pounding bassline.
Lynch absolutely adores this kind of sound.
Its a powerfully affecting scene that Ive rewatched in isolation multiple times.
Id go so far as to say its my favorite scene of the entire series.
Theres the Cactus Blossoms performing their laid-back, country-esque Mississippi.
Sharon Von Ettens Tarifa is one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack.
It has a folksy quality (and an organ), building slowly and eventually rocking out.
This is one more way Lynch utilizes the Roadhouse: to get all meta.
Rebekah Del Rio performs another song co-written by Lynch, No Stars.
(Lynch loves lounge tweaks and red curtains.)
Last but not least, theres Booker T. & the M.G.s Green Onions.
