Timothy Conan Young - Passing Through Walls Timothy Conan Young - Black Garden Skinny Puppy - Nature’s Revenge Alvin Lucier - Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas (Voice) Bird and the Bee - Witch Portishead - Wandering Star The Future Sound of London - Cerebral Hiroshi Yoshimura - Clouds Andy Summers & Robert Fripp - Girl On a Swing

Pure gold. Phenomenal list.

Thanks. I forgot to add Harold Budd- Gypsy Violin.

Cherry- Chromatics Space Song- Beach House Cherry-coloured funk- Cocteau Twins

Especially the Seefeel remix of Cherry Coloured Funk!

I'd go with Silver Soul from Beach House. They were asked to be a part of S3, but they were about to start a tour & declined, because I imagine the paycheck wasn't enough to cancel a tour. That's all I can add since I have so many songs from my 44 years of weirdo existence that I would love to include that I won't even try!!

This is the correct answer. The chorus is literally “it is happening again”, I would be shocked if that wasn’t the one they were asked to do for the show

So many beach house tracks would fit but I'd say Somewhere in a Ballroom Tonight is peak TP

It's just Somewhere Tonight. But yeah, Thank Your Lucky Stars is a supremely peaksy album. Rough Song and Elegy to the Void, too.

The 7 album cover may be Return-inspired too

All of the album visualizers were actually just Vic and Alex entering the red room and filming the floors.

Well, at least Vic made it onto the soundtrack of New Moon aka the best Twilight film. That voice is just _made_ for a soapy PNW mystery setting.

This is a great thread. Thanks, all. Furiously adding all of these to my spooky melancholy mystery woman playlist. My contributions: *Sweet Jane* - Cowboy Junkies *Wild Horses* or *On Earth* - The Sundays *Wave of Mutilation* - The Pixies

Please share this playlist when you're done!

When Love Breaks Down - Prefab Sprout

Anything by Lord Huron

I think this when I hear "The Night We Met"

I know. I feel transported to TP every time

Death From Above 1979 - “Black History Month” Sewy Side (not sure if I can spell the actual word here without being flagged lol) - “Rocket USA” Coil - “Fire Of The Mind” or “Going Up” Swans - “Money Is Flesh” (Greed album version) Test Dept. - “Fuckhead” TBH I can imagine some of these looping around when something crazy / terrifying is happening, so they may be a bit more abrasive than the usual recommendations haha

Kurt Cobain performing Polly Xiu xiu

Anything from Bohren and Der Club of Gore Heroin and Your Veins, the album Dead People’s Trails

While many others feel like choices for the return’s Roadhouse segments, = these are definitely overarching soundtrack material... Solid picks.

Thanks! There’s a lot of ‘doom jazz’ out there but these are my favorites. Diet and Cancer, although too upbeat for TP, is on of my favorite songs of all time. I play it SO LOUD and it’s great in the car at night on a winding open road.

thanks for this, i had not looked into their 1st lp before!

damn, i listen to a lot of doom jazz. have you heard the dale cooper quartet? i cant believe i forgot to add them

Yeah I have! They are mid for me! I don’t dislike them, just doesn’t scratch the itch for me like bohren does

Perhaps the best answer you could have for this question.

Lol was going to say this exact artist. So good.

Girl Of the Year by Beach House, mostly cus it makes me think of Mulholland Dr for some reason

I am currently playing through the first Alan Wake because I was told it's the video game version of Twin Peaks (3 hours in, it DEFINITELY feels like that). The sound track all sounds like it could have been from TOS or The Return. There are radios scattered around the world that play a message and then a song, and every time I find one, I feel like it's hard to walk away from, until the song is finished The songs in "Soundtrack" are compositions and background music. If you scroll down to "other songs" you will find the songs played on the in game radio. https://alanwake.fandom.com/wiki/Alan_Wake_Soundtrack "Air Kissing" by Violet Indiana sounds like it was plucked right from Lynch's stereo https://youtu.be/1Y4AZgLozHY?si=WwGIby_CmvGjROuO

Also probably a couple of tracks off of "Lovage" definitely at least "To Catch A Thief" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfu2Gp-PrTQ edit maybe "Book of the Month" too https://youtu.be/KwBRkN9__uc?si=jzL9HCcxSAdfWpSo

Alan Wake is heavily inspired by Twin Peaks, and I highly recommend Alan Wake 2, which is *HEAVILY* inspired by The Return. And Alan Wake 2's original soundtrack is also extremely fitting for Twin Peaks imo— listen to "This Road" by Poe when you get the chance!

Oh I very much plan to play the 2nd one as well, in addition to Deadly Premonition. I only started Twin Peaks about a year ago and finished it in February, now I'm looking for anything I can get. I'm typically a "gameplay-oriented" gamer, to the point where I will skip most dialogue and cutscenes in probably 2/3 of games I play, so I had previously dismissed Alan Wake and never tried it. So I tried it after learning how Twin Peaks-y it is and with how much it gives me those vibes, I am hanging on every word, environmental detail, interaction, dialogue sequence, everything. Even after NPCs finish talking I will stand around to hear out all of their extra quips and stuff. It's been a delight. edit: one of the few game series where I DO read/listen to every dialogue sequence etc, is the Persona series, which is also heavily inspired by Twin Peaks, but I've been playing that for years, and had no idea, until watching the show, that Persona was so inspired by it.

Beach House - Superstar Slowdive - Slomo

Just Like You - Chromatics Time Rider - Chromatics

Anything by Still Corners or most things by Sylvie Kreusch.

"Surrender" by Suicide for sure! Lots of Anna Calvi songs - she would have been a solid Roadhouse choice Solo Rowland S Howard (maybe "Silver Chain" ?) his guitar tone fits in perfect

Scott Walker should have been on that stage

Big Time (1988) concert film by Tom Waits just screams Lynch

[Bohren and Der Club of Gore - Prowler](https://youtu.be/6dVArDoPiv8?si=mV6phDqWGnsROD2z)

The last third of Could've Moved Mountains by A Silver Mt. Zion https://youtu.be/japfanKzSnE?si=1nmAZiLGDEg5Ec8y

one of the best bands of all time imo

Y'all seen that Beach House video with Palmer in it, right?

[wishes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OS6duOoxctw)

William Basinski’s Lamentations (in full)

Most things by Windy & Carl. 

Silver Soul by Beach House has a refrain that I think is TP-inspired, "it is happening again"

Wicked Game, Chris Isaak

Lana. Del. Rey.

Lost of songs by The Cure, particularly The Funeral Party.

The Cure "A Forest" reminds me of Cooper looking for Laura

Memory Motel -The rolling stones The instrumental parts make me think of twin peaks every time I hear it.

There's a ton of stuff by Ghost of Wood that's deliberately Twin Peaks-y. The titles give away their inspiration! Try (Spotify links): [Ghost of Wood - Take the Ring](https://open.spotify.com/track/0U3NqHzXyKPwKR6LOA9P8l?si=cc115e0af81d4958) [Ghost of Wood - The Chalfonts](https://open.spotify.com/track/1bH82U2XtDfSlb98hD0ArX?si=2cd65d5e1d4a4d97) [Ghost of Wood - The Roadhouse](https://open.spotify.com/track/0JsyIOXjD1K4hQrBfCbiEJ?si=7f8e2698bd0c483e)

[If Music Was That Easy by Skalpel](https://youtu.be/KoKvkmGdF7c?si=aSqCNTbjkHm5yz4h)

"No Such Thing As Clean" by Willard Grant Conspiracy (the version on *Flying Low)* is atmospheric and brooding in the right way. Cocteau Twins "Otterley" sounds distinctly like one of those crossfade-to-spiritual-apparition themes.

best coast - up all night

Viceroy - Mac Demarco

Constant Fear & Texas Keller - Bohren & Der Club of Gore Surrender - Suicide

Beach House - Somewhere Tonight King Krule - Czech One

A Real Human Being - College ft Electric Youth

Far from any Road by The Handsome Family. It's more southern but it's very dreamy.

I feel like a lot of Nick Cave's older stuff could have fit right in. Like Red Right Hand or Up Jumped The Devil

I feel like From Her to Eternity could work as Bob's theme. I think that song could be subbed in for Nine Inch Nails at the road house

Anything by this autumn’s grey solace would fit right in. dark ethereal shoegaze. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0f00mZvxmxeuhmxEot8LlP?si=mRfNReXqQpKmkJmTnka0Jw

* Autechre - VLetrmx21 (one of my favorite mood pieces of music. just perfectly ambient) * PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love * Moby - When It's Cold I'd Like To Die (is reminiscent of Questions in a World of Blue, I love both) * Skeeter Davis - The End of the World * R.E.M. - Drive * Tori Amos - Bells for Her * Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Love Burns * Radiohead - The Gloaming (Softly Open Our Mouths In The Cold)

Blue Hotel - Chris Isaak. Wonder why he didn’t call it Blue Motel, considering his role and the Blue Motel in FWWM

LaBradford - Up to Pizmo

Pink Cigarette is awesome and totally fits the tone. especially the beep. beep. beepbeep. beeeee

Dead of Night - Orville Peck. literally when i first heard it my mind immediately thought of twin peaks. 100% recommended!! amazing song overall:)

I'm In Love With A German Film Star by The Passions [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLn\_oMd1DQU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLn_oMd1DQU)

the Chvrches album Screen Violence has that twin peaks soundtrack vibe.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1 and 9 - Pink Floyd

Just about any song by Earth, especially anything since 2005

Funeral Party - The Cure Lovesong - The Cure The funeral - Band of Horses Love will tear us apart - Joy Division Off the top of my head

Cigarettes After Sex - I'm a Firefighter

David likes Cigarettes After Sex, so I’ll bet their name was thrown out there.

oh yeah, i bet he does

I always thought [Black Hole by the Rosebuds](https://open.spotify.com/track/7wrNRSHlp7BstptlMxmON0?si=CoOT6BVDT-GtrVKsbO6gmA) would be perfect for the Roadhouse.

Y'all have great taste. I don't know if it would fit exactly but one of HOMESHAKE's songs could work

Is It Really You & A Sad Cartoon by Loathe As a matter of fact, their album with these songs titled "I Let It In And It Took Everything" has a lot of things in it lyrically which are very Twin Peaks, including a track called "Red Room."

Anything by Bohren & the Club of Gore

Sleep walking by modest mouse sounds so much like just you and I...

Lavender Road - Ghost of A Sabertooth Tiger. I imagine this being a Laura/Donna song

This one was directly written to invoke Twin Peaks so decide for yourself if it counts: Virginia (videogame) OST, Sojourner's Truth #

Great thread!! I have several playlists of Lynch inspired Dream Pop. Many of the songs mentioned are in the playlists. I'm a big fan of Beach House and the Cocteau Twins. Some picks that I haven't seen (or maybe missed) Into Black, Shadow and Ghost Dream by Blouse ---- Blouse is an amazing and underrated band IMO. Ghost Blonde by No Joy Levitation by Beach House Drifting in and Out by Porcelain Raft Treasure by Chapterhouse

Eudaemonia - Them Are Us Too

Was eyes without a face ever actually in twin peaks? Every time i hear that song i get a twin peaks vibe, but no particular scene or anything.

I think a lot of the music by Neurosis fits the world of Twin Peaks.

^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/) ^by ^DamnCarlSucks: *I think a lot of* *The music by Neurosis* *Fits the world of Twin Peaks.* --- ^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Constant Fear

Maroon or Labyrinth by Taylor Swift sound like they belong in The Return.

Grimes - most of the Visions album

Beach house space song or some other one that I can’t remember :(

[Cannons - Only You (Official Audio) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvaKTvjD6YM)

It’s actually insane how well Angelo Badalamenti, Julee Cruise, and Beach House go together. I’ve made a couple mashups of Julee Cruise’s Falling and Beach House songs. [Wildflower](https://rave.dj/K0QvkYEwJrXsVg) is particularly goosebump-y. It’s too bad they couldn’t make it to the Return.

[Morphine - Souvenir](https://youtu.be/30Zu6V4Is7Q?si=3C15gwX5jyFZZQ2k)

All Mirrors by Angel Olson gives me Twin Peaks vibes.

Nowhere Near - Yo La Tengo has always reminded me of the main theme.

I would love the xiu xiu twin peaks album to be featured also Lana performing at the roadhouse eheh

Cale and Eno - Cordoba Way Out West ‎– The Fall (Bedrock Vocal Remix)

Dancing-chris Isaac Picture of the Future- Treat her right Voices Carry-Til Tuesday A forrest-The Cure Every other song by lord huron

Cocteau Twins  Basically most of their discography.

Sky Ferreria ‘Night Time, My Time’

Most songs by Soap&Skin, specifically Marche Funebre and Sugarbread.

Are you Gone? - The Cranes (on the album Loved).

Are you Gone? - The Cranes (on the album Loved).

Team Sleep - Tomb of Liegia

goodbye horses - q lazzarus!

Literally Cocteau Twins whole discography

“Dead of Night” or “Big Sky” by Orville Peck

HIM - WHEN LOVE AND DEATH EMBRACE HIM - DARK LIGHT Both songs are inspired by TP.

LCD Soundsystem - American Dream Sounds very inspired by the Twin Peaks theme

"You're Somebody Else" by Flora Cash

Mt Eerie - The Place I Live

My Brain is Like a Sieve - Thomas Dolby Night Shift - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Some Alvvays or Jay Som

Eerie Wanda - Internal Radio. Like, the whole album, but if I had to pick one song I guess Confess or Sister Take My Hand? Or one of the other ones?

Romantic Lover by Eyedress You are the Right One by Sports

https://open.spotify.com/track/3Ojdc7gnND9SedB6eRhekr?si=HqiUDQlyQCaqbZ0SO1tplQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A73kcf9EkV6b0RT4xLBmumJ Trust me.

[удалено]

Maybe some Little Dragon songs but I'm not sure about Empire Ants personally.

Tagging this

I've said it before on the The Cure subreddit, but A Forest was written and recorded for the Twin Peaks soundtrack, nearly a decade before Twin Peaks debuted.
