As fans of David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks know, the show's music is as vital a character as the eccentric and enigmatic residents of the titular small town, and that was especially true when the show returned for its third season on Showtime in the fateful summer of 2017. On May 9th, Mondo Music’s Death Waltz Recording Company will take viewers back to the "place both wonderful and strange" with a vinyl release of the original soundtrack from Twin Peaks: Limited Event Series.

Press Release: Austin, TX – May 6, 2019 – Mondo Music’s Death Waltz Recording Company is thrilled to return to the town of Twin Peaks with their very own version of Season 3’s Limited Event Series Score featuring tracks by Angelo Badalamenti, Johnny Jewel, David Lynch and Dean Hurley. The Twin Peaks: Limited Event Series original soundtrack will be available for sale on Thursday, May 9 at MondoTees.

Around the end of Twin Peaks’ first run, filmmaker David Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti came up with an off-the-wall musical experiment. They rounded up a group of notable jazz musicians to play with Badalamenti, and Lynch gave them vivid, bizarre scenes and asked them to replicate them musically. The result was a project Lynch dubbed Thought Gang — a jumble of free jazz, experimental atmospherics and outlandish spoken word. Although a couple of the tracks appeared on the soundtrack to the 1992 Twin Peaks prequel, Fire Walk With Me, they shelved the project for decades.
