Johnny Jewel (CHROMATICS, Glass Candy, Desire) has released a surprise LP Themes For Television online today. The LP is set for physical release on June 29th (UK) via Italians Do It Better.
Inspired by Twin Peaks, Themes for Television is in keeping with the unpredictable twilit splendor one expects of Jewel. Working entirely without images, drawing from his own imagined version of what The Return might be, Jewel produced a monumental six hours of material. The 21 tracks that comprise this album have been culled from that prolific streak of inspiration, sequenced and edited last winter in Tokyo.
