“It all connects to the world of ideas,” Lynch said.
Lynch plays guitar, writes the lyrics and sings Hurley builds out the tracks with percussion, keyboards, loops and processing effects applied to Lynch’s vocals, which sometimes sound like they’re being squeezed through the wires of distant telephone lines, or sent through a bullhorn.Īgain, the intersection of music, filmmaking and painting come to the surface. It moves through the surrealism of “Last Call” (“I catch a Bob kitchen / I fly a Dan garage”) to the romantic fatalism of “Cold Wind Blowin’” to a surprising - to some, perhaps - rendition of Bob Dylan’s haunting treatise on sociopolitical inequity, “The Ballad of Hollis Brown.” There’s even an out-and-out love song, “I Want You,” borrowing a title previously used not only by Dylan but by John Lennon too. “The Big Dream” opens with the title track, a meditative and uplifting message of love and unity.
