Johnny Jewel Announces New Album Featuring “Twin Peaks” Music and Chromatics
Johnny Jewel has announced a new album. It’s called Windswept and it’s out May 10 via his Italians Do It Better label. The 14-track collection is made up of unreleased material, including music that will be in the upcoming third season of “Twin Peaks.” There are also collaborations with Glass Candy, Symmetry, and Heaven, as well as songs by Chromatics (“Blue Moon” from Jewel’s Lost River soundtrack) and Desire. Jewel has also shared the title track, along with a video by Chromatics. Watch that below; scroll down for the Windswept artwork and tracklist.
In 2016, Johnny Jewel released his soundtrack for the Belgian film Home. Chromatics’ last record, the excellent Kill for Love, came out in 2012. Since December 2014, they’ve teased its follow-up, Dear Tommy. Yesterday, Jewel’s manager, Alexis Rivera, explained the delay. “Christmas day 2015, Johnny almost died in Hawaii,” according to Rivera. “When he came back home to California he destroyed all copies of Tommy. 15K CDs & 10K vinyl in the Italians warehouse in Glendale, all gone.” The LP has since been re-recorded, and apparently, “we are getting closer to the release of the album.”
