Its moody, melodramatic presence was embedded into the showвЂ™s most fundamental DNA, running through the townвЂ™s core with the same tangible presence as its gushing waterfall or buzzing sawmill. вЂњIt had a very different tone to the original series, and as I was reading it, none of the original music really entered my mind-it was clear something darker would be required.вЂќДЄs composed by Angelo Badalamenti, the role of music in the original вЂњTwin PeaksвЂќ remains as crucial to the program as any character or plot line.

вЂњThe script was like a phonebook, it took me two whole days to read it,вЂќ continues Hurley, who was one of the very few people to see a layout of the entire production up-front.

вЂњIt wasnвЂ™t in the script,вЂќ Hurley tells me, adding that the scenes were constructed to allow editorial fluidity-to act as a punctuation tool-because Lynch imagined вЂњThe ReturnвЂќ not as a TV show but rather an 18-hour film broken down and shown in parts. In вЂњThe Return,вЂќ once youвЂ™re in the Roadhouse, you know youвЂ™re safe-relatively speaking, at least.Д®ven though the showвЂ™s music has been largely defined by those star-studded Roadhouse performances, they were never part of the original plan. Yet their role began to reveal itself as the show evolved: The scenes, and the music within them, are used as a guide back toward something resembling reality, a reassuring embrace of the familiar following the rest of the showвЂ™s deeply disturbing andВ bizarre images. Early on in the seriesвЂ™ run, these Roadhouse scenes could seem incongruous, like clunky appendages often added to the end of every episode. Trouble were one of many actsВ who played the fictional bar during one long production day that also saw handpicked artists including Nine Inch Nails, Sharon Van Etten, and Eddie Vedder take their turn to be directed by Lynch while pretending to play their own music. At that, Riley unstraps his guitar, clips on his walkie talkie, and gets back to his job as production assistant as the crew resets the showвЂ™s legendary Roadhouse stage for another band. IвЂ™m not just going to put anything in there!вЂќДЄ few vamping minutes later, the groupвЂ™s song comes to a close. Even with the family connection, though, Trouble had to prove themselves -according to Hurley, when Riley pitched his dad on creating a song to play on the series, Lynch responded, вЂњ Well, it better be fucking great. The groupВ consists of music and sound supervisor Dean Hurley, Lynch-indebted experimentalist Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches, and LynchвЂ™s own 25-year-old son, Riley. The band onstage, Trouble, was formed especially for вЂњTwin Peaks: The Return,вЂќ the sequel to the wonderfully strange early 1990s TV series. A galloping beat jumps out of the speakers, alongside blasts of saxophone and scuffed-up guitar. David Lynch is chain-smoking behind his monitoring screens, a bright red megaphone in hand.
