Experimental post-punk band Xiu Xiu announces release of their interpretation of David Lynch’s 1977 debut film Eraserhead soundtrack, due July 10, 2026 via Polyvinyl Records. The album derives from a live concert concept where the band recreates the original score by Lynch and Alan Splet alongside film screening, honoring Lynch’s legacy following his 2025 death. Xiu Xiu previously collaborated with Lynch on the 2016 album-concert project Plays The Music Of Twin Peaks (discontinued 2018). The original soundtrack features Peter Ivers’ iconic composition ‘In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song)’. This new project represents Xiu Xiu’s return to Lynch’s sonic universe, blending experimental music practice with cinematic collaboration in distinctly post-punk fashion.
