DAILY TORO


David Lynch and Alan R. Splet’s soundtrack for the former’s 1977 debut Eraserhead is one of the most powerful and unsettling scores in film history, a haunting mix of organ music, ambient noise and unusual, claustrophobic sound design. Now that soundtrack, which has developed its own kind of cult following removed from the source material, is getting a vinyl reissue August 6 via Sacred Bones.
The 1,500 copy run will feature the original CD tracks (“Digah’s Stomp / Lenox Avenue Blues / Stompin’ the Bug / Messin’ Around With the Blues”) as well as an individual 7” of Peter Iver’s song “In Heaven” (b/w “Pete’s Boogie”), memorably lip-synced in the film by actress Laurel Near. “In Heaven” has been covered by Pixies, Modest Mouse, The Danse Society, and others.
