Daniel Knox - Half Heart: Songs From Twin Peaks '2020

Tracks list

Artist Daniel Knox, who opened for David Lynch at multiple Inland Empire
screenings, has chosen Twin Peaks Day 2020 to release Half Heart: Songs from
Twin Peaks, a 9-track album with interpretations of Angelo Badalamenti and David
Lynch’s music for Twin Peaks.
One of the Chicago-based musician’s favorite moments in all of Twin Peaks
is the deleted scene where Ed and Norma are listening to the car radio and Norma
says, “So far away” followed by “It’s you and me, Ed.
You can barely hear us.” “I’ve always heard the music of Twin
Peaks as a beacon of unreachable lonesomeness and mystery,” Knox tells
Welcome to Twin Peaks. “I see this album as a response call broadcasting
to that same place.”
Knox, who has racked up collaborations with Jarvis Cocker and The Handsome
Family, and gigged with the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Andrew Bird, and Swans,
produced Half Heart with Joshua Fitzgerald Klocek, who plays guitar on most of
the record. Early on, the duo agreed to approach the material without
overthinking it and keeping the arrangements simple. But how did they go about
selecting songs from such a vast archive of music.
“When I was trying to decide which songs to record I sat down at the piano
and tried to find the ones that felt comfortable for me,” Knox tells
Welcome to Twin Peaks. “The World Spins and The Nightingale felt right to
me right away, and made it clear from the beginning that the way into these
songs was not to impose my own language on them but to try and speak theirs
naturally and let the differences emerge,” he adds. Two other Julee Cruise
classics, “Questions in a World of Blue” and “Into The
Night” made the track list as well. Less obvious choices include Angelo
Badalamenti and David Lynch’s experimental Thought Gang piece, The Black
Dog Runs at Night, and the album’s title song, “Half Heart,”
originally included on Twin Peaks: Season Two Music and More. about -
