Xiu Xiu - Xiu Xiu Plays the Music of Twin Peaks

Plays the Music of Twin Peaks is an album by American experimental band Xiu Xiu. Composed of cover versions of the music from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, it was released exclusively as a Record Store Day release on April 16, 2016 by Polyvinyl in the United States and Bella Union in Europe. It was produced by former Xiu Xiu member Jherek Bischoff and mixed by Deerhoof member Greg Saunier.[1][2]

The covers were originally commissioned by Queensland Gallery of Modern Art for a 2015 exhibition, “David Lynch: Between Two Worlds”. Following the live performances at the exhibition, the band decided to record the covers in the studio. In accompaniment to the album, Xiu Xiu will be embarking an Europe tour in April 2016.[3][4] In April 2016, the band released a shared music video for the tracks "Into the Night" and "Nightsea Wind", directed by Diego Barrera.
