When you hear the name David Lynch, the first thing that pops in your head is probably not "new album." But let's give the guy a break. In July, the 67-year-old artist and Chinese chicken salad fan is releasing a solo album called The Big Dream and he sings and wrote most of the tracks and, no, it's not his first album. Over the year's he not only composed music for his own films, but also produced and wrote tracks for two Julee Cruise albums, started a record label and, in 2011, he collaborated on an album with Chrysta Bell and released a solo album called Crazy Clown Time. For his upcoming LP, Lynch includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "Ballad of Hollis Brown" and a song called "I'm Waiting Here" with Swedish singer Lykke Li (listen above)-- but the other tracks are all David. Or, as he sees it: "Most of the songs start out as a type of blues jam and then we go sideways from there. What comes out is a hybrid, modernized form of low-down blues." The Big Dream will be released on July 16 on Sunday Best Recordings.
