As with other works of film director and multi-talented artist David Lynch, this record is beautiful and peculiar. Lynch produced, mixed and co-wrote all of the songs, supplying all of the lyrics on the album. The passing of David Jaurequi, Fox Bat Strategy guitarist, vocalist and lead songwriter in 2006 prompted Lynch to finally have these 1994 recordings released from the band that recorded the soundtrack to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. And what greater honor to Jaurequi’s memory than to make these evergreen tracks, shimmering diamonds that they are, available finally to the public.

The six songs alternate between dark and light, although really they could all be characterized as having been recorded at dusk. This being a Lynch project, atmosphere always comes first, and it is often at once dramatic and hazy. Fans of eclectic jazz guitarist Bill Frisell will find it immediately familiar.

Hawaiian slack-key, Mexican mariachi and California rock ’n’ roll were three of the biggest influences on Jaurequi, and evidence of this is strewn throughout the record. Nowhere do these elements come together more harmoniously than on the gorgeous “You’re the One,” The-Greatest-End-Credits-Song-That-Never-Was. Its plinking piano, played gently but urgently by Andy Armer, propels this gem to pop perfection. Melodious, simple, slightly exotic, and sure to receive the repeat-button treatment.

The sonic trademark of the album is reverb—a series of reflections of an original sound wave now gone. With the long-due release of these recordings, the reverberations on this disc can now live eternally, the echoes carrying on the memory of their creator.
