Boy, the world sure is a topsy-turvy place, huh? One minute, David Duchovny is literally selling me DOG FOOD for a living; and the next, he’s freakin’ writing books, coming back for a surprise new mini-season of X Files as Agent Mulder, and making solo records! And not just ANY solo records, mind you, but solo records with “poetic lyrics and infectious melodies”!!! Is this all just some kind of crazy FBI conspiracy? I mean, who does this sci-fi dynamo think he is, already? David Lynch?!?
Well, we’ll all soon find out together, dear readers. Duchovny’s “folk/rock” solo debut, entitled Hell or Highwater is coming for us all on May 12 courtesy of ThinkSay Records. Ooh! There’s quotes from him too! Let’s listen in:
Making this record is a dream come true, but I never had this dream – it’s still a shock when I think about how all this music happened. What I do know is that I feel these songs represent the truest expression that I’ve ever been able to achieve and I look forward to sharing it with everyone.
So… what he’s saying here is that he basically has NO MEMORY of how this album got made? Yup: CONSPIRACY. CONFIRM-O.
Okay, okay; maybe I’m being too hasty here. Decide for yourself. The title track is available for purchase over at ye olde iTunes store right now, and you can currently pre-order the whole thing on Amazon. Those three nerd-guys from X-Files also helped me “embed” samples from the album down below. I hope you enjoy them, because it took fucking forever to do that over their Prodigy.net 512k dial-up connection.
