Ethel Cain is preparing to release her album Willoughby Tucker, I will love you forever On Wednesday, August 8, she shared a preview of the project by offering the eight-minute single "Nettles." In an Instagram story posted on one of her art accounts, she says the song was inspired by Double Peaksand she hunted down a specific synthesizer used by composer Angelo Badalamenti to make the show's classic theme song.
"It's also fun," she wrote on Instagram's story. "Remind them to everyone who said the song Double Peaks;In the second half of last year, I watched Angelo Badalamenti video explaining how he wrote Laura's subject and loved it so much that I chased the synthesizers he used on Twin Peaks and bought them, and these are the synthesizers I used for "Willoughby". This video is also why I decided to watch Twin Peaks. ”
In another Instagram story, she continued: "For those who ask, the specific keyboards I use for net introductions (I call them my Angelo synthesizer) is the Yamaha DX7."
Badalamenti worked with the show’s creator David Lynch and singer-songwriter Julee Cruise to eventually create the theme song “Falling.” Classic tracks are the cornerstone of the 1990 soundtrack Music from Twin Peaksthe song went on to win the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrument Performance.
Cain said in a statement that the "net" was written at the same time as her previous album. “The song and the last track on the record were written the same week, and it was my first week of moving into a house in Alabama Missionary's daughter," Cain said. "In a similar way Missionary's daughter (especially “a house in Nebraska” and “Stranger”), I wrote about what is essentially the beginning and end of the story without realizing it. The little episodes I felt at first, with almost no emotions, eventually became the tentacle of a larger narrative. ”
She added: "'nettles' becomes a dream of losing someone you love, asking them to guarantee that you won't fulfill it, but a dream, but, as you grow side by side, you'll be together. Every time and again the blue moon can make the blue moon fall off, making it awesome.
In an interview Rolling stonesCain reveals her creative process and says she has multiple characters and generations associated with the same universe on the album. "It's going to be 15, 20 years," she said. "My job is slow. That's what I like."
