Lynch said today that the origins of the project came from a vision he experienced during a nighttime walk through a forest. Chrystabell said the album contains “many doors that are left open to wonder, wander and get turned around in.”
“It’s like mood music,” she said, “not that it creates mood, but more that it reflects your own.”
Cellophane Memories will mark Lynch’s first public project since Twin Peaks: The Return, which wrapped in 2017 on Showtime. The filmmaker teased a new project on Memorial Day, posting a video to X where he said: “Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along…. for you to see and hear. And it will be coming along on June 5.”
The Twin Peaks filmmaker also recently told Deadline that he hoped to soon find backers for his long-gestating animated project Snootworld. Lynch began working on the script for Snootworld two decades ago with former Tim Burton collaborator Caroline Thompson, who wrote projects including The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and the 1991 film The Addams Family.
“Just recently, I thought someone might be interested in getting behind this, so I presented it to Netflix in the last few months, but they rejected it,” he told us.
Lynch said Snootworld is “kind of an old-fashioned story, and animation today is more about surface jokes. Old-fashioned fairytales are considered groaners: apparently, people don’t want to see them. It’s a different world now, and it’s easier to say no than to say yes.”
Lynch and Chrystabell have worked on two previous albums together, and also collaborated on Twin Peaks: The Return, in which the Texas-born actor and singer played the role of Agent Tammy Preston.
