David Lynch has crafted a one off mixtape ahead of new album ‘Crazy Clown Time’.

So it comes as no surprise to find that David Lynch has an eclectic taste. London magazine The Stool Pigeon invited the director to construct a mixtape, allowing the director to move from genre to genre.
The results are typically broad. Opening with Gary Clark Jr, the mixtape contains a lot of blues and rockabilly. Alongside this, the mixtape includes The Kills and James Blake before ending with This Mortal Coil.
