Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Wendy Eisenberg recently shared new single Meaning Business”, a song that was written following David Lynch’s death, honoring the filmmaker’s “alien sense of Americanness”. It’s taken from their upcoming self-titled album, due out on April 3 via Joyful Noise Recordings.
The track is an artful folk rock track that soon expands in a smart artful manner with some Beatles-esque strings and alt-pop arrangements – with a hint of country – that give it an odd-ball shape, only fitting for a song about David Lynch. While it has qualities of a few things, it ultimately merges into something singular to itself.
Speaking about the track, Eisenberg adds:
This song was written in honor of David Lynch, within days of his passing. I loved his work dearly, especially Twin Peaks/Fire Walk With Me/The Return, which is an especially important work to me and so many other people who have experienced sexual assault. Recovery from the trauma of that particular horror is a hallucinatory and psychedelic process because you’re reckoning with true horror – basically, the thesis of the Twin Peaks universe. This song sees me trying to find the little kid who I was, who endured that horror, and ultimately trying to free her from being trapped in that memory (“Find Laura”)
