Xiu Xiu have lined up an album based on their ongoing live show revolving around David Lynch’s Eraserhead . Out July 10 via Polyvinyl , Eraserhead Xiu Xiu follows Jamie Stewart and the band’s Lynch-approved Twin Peaks album and concerts. Below, listen to Stewart and Angela Seo’s take on a song from Eraserhead , “In Heaven,” originally composed by Peter Ivers, with lyrics by the late Lynch.

Xiu Xiu are heading out on the road this fall for a string of dates, mostly playing the Eraserhead set. The concept, per a press release, is inspired by Alan Splet and Lynch’s original score and sound design. A film companion to the album is also in the pipeline.
