We always loved it but thought it was a song from outside the Twin Peaks universe; a song by other artists that they used on the soundtrack. When we read this interview and realized how deeply it in fact was in the universe AND had Angelo Badalamenti singing, we regretted not including it on \u003ci\u003ePlays the Music of Twin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e. When Polyvinyl approached us about an anniversary release, the opportunity to do it as a bonus track thankfully gave us a chance to redeem ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is funny how lucky we were to have released \u003ci\u003ePlays the Music of Twin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e when we did. The third season was announced while we were in Australia preparing for the first concert of the soundtrack we would ever play. It was fully back in the zeitgeist at the exact time we were working on it. The White Lodge had given us a little kiss. It was amazing to have been able to inhabit that monumentally inspiring world for a couple of years. As crazed and devoted fans, who could have asked for more? In the meantime we have watched Season 3 over and over and our love for this epic has only grown. It is irresistible although more than a little on the nose to say this of the reissue but, we are so excited that It Is Happening Again.\" –Jamie Stewart, Xiu Xiu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polyvinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2xLP (White \u0026 Clear)","offer_id":50775129948467,"sku":"PRC-312LP","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50818987393331,"sku":"PRC-312CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape (Clear)","offer_id":50818987458867,"sku":"PRC-312TAPE","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":50818987491635,"sku":"PRC-312DIGITAL","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/7655\/8387\/files\/XiuXiu-Twin_Peaks-white-clear-001.jpg?v=1746220559"},{"product_id":"xiu-xiu-eraserhead-xiu-xiu","title":"Xiu Xiu - Eraserhead Xiu Xiu","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2016, with the blessing of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, \u003cstrong\u003eXiu Xiu\u003c\/strong\u003e released and toured the surprisingly successful album and concert, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlays the Music of Twin Peaks\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
