Another episode, another slew of questions: how is Richard Horne not behind bars, and what exactly is his relation to the family? (The internet has their guess...) Why is Gordon having visions of Laura Palmer? Is anyone buying those shovels?? But one thing viewers of Showtime's Twin Peaks: The Return know for certain: this season's soundtrack has been straight off a KEXP playlist. Most of the episodes end with a band performing at Bang Bang Bar aka The Roadhouse, the local bar in the city of Twin Peaks.
In an ongoing weekly series of exclusive interviews, KEXP's resident Twin Peaks expert DJ Morgan will chat with the show's music director Dean Hurley. Hurley has collaborated extensively with David Lynch on sound design and music, and since 2005, has operated Asymmetrical Studio, Lynch's recording studio and film dubbing facility located in the Hollywood Hills. Tune in every Monday at 8:00 AM PT to The Morning Show on KEXP, as Morgan and John Richards air excerpts from her chats with Hurley. View previous chats in the series here on the KEXP Blog.

Why, it's Moby, listed in the credits as "musician" -- typecasting! In the clip below, Hurley introduces the other musicians in Rebekah's band (one of whom has produced albums by Nick Cave, Arcade Fire, and more), tells us about the background track "Headless Chicken" by Thought Gang (an "acid-jazz" side project of Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti), and the story behind the track she performed at The Roadhouse, "No Stars," co-written by Lynch himself.
Twin Peaks: The Return airs every Sunday night at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Showtime.
On September 8th, Rhino will release two soundtrack collections: Twin Peaks (Music From the Limited Event Series) featuring performances from The Roadhouse and Twin Peaks (Limited Event Series Original Soundtrack) featuring the score by composer Angelo Badalamenti.
Seattle's Ephrata have been purveyors of dreamy, expansive-yet-poppy music scene they formed in 2012. With each new single and EP, they've expanded their sonic palette and even managed to squeeze in some startling visuals and music videos — sometimes things got bloody. The band will self-release th…
