The soundtrack to David Lynch's 1977 film Eraserhead is a haunting and atmospheric collection of music that perfectly complements the film's surreal and disturbing imagery. The album features a mix of original compositions by Lynch and Alan R. Splet, as well as vintage blues and jazz recordings.
Lynch and Splet's music for the film is characterized by its use of industrial soundscapes, dissonant melodies, and eerie vocals. The album opens with the ominous track "Digah's Stomp," which features a pounding industrial beat and distorted vocals. The following tracks, "Lenox Avenue Blues" and "Stompin' The Bug," are more upbeat blues and jazz numbers, but they still retain a dark and unsettling tone.
The centerpiece of the album is the track "In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song)," which is performed by Laurel Near's character, the Lady in the Radiator. The song is a beautiful and haunting ballad about love and loss, and it is one of the most memorable moments in the film.
The album concludes with the previously unreleased track "Pete's Boogie," a lively and upbeat blues instrumental.
The album was originally released on vinyl in 1982 by I.R.S. Records. It was reissued on CD in 2012 by Sacred Bones Records, with the addition of the previously unreleased track "Pete's Boogie."
The soundtrack to Eraserhead is a classic example of film music that perfectly complements the film it was created for. It is an essential album for any fan of David Lynch's work, as well as anyone who enjoys dark and atmospheric music.
