Julee Cruise — she of the enchanting, ethereal vocal cords, she of the David Lynch collaborations, she of the B-52s (she was the replacement singer for Cindy Wilson for several years) — has a new album. And a snazzy new European tour with Kid Congo Powers and electronic artist Khan! Indeed, Ms. Cruise’s life story is full of interesting facts and exciting acquaintances, one of whom is Ukrainian-born Deee-lite member Supa DJ Dmitry, with whom she just released My Secret Life, a new album on Purley Sounds.
Some fun facts about Julee Cruise: Moby, David Bowie, and David Foster Wallace are all fans! She’s the voice of “Falling,” the theme song from Twin Peaks! She has worked with Handsome Boy Modeling School! She debuted as a performance artist to be reckoned with as part of David Lynch’s “Industrial Symphony #1” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival whilst wearing a prom dress and suspended 80 feet above the stage!
If you’re in Europe, she’s currently on the aforementioned tour with Kid Congo Powers and Khan, collaborating on a project called “Burn, Baby, Burn.” No details yet on this summer’s tour with Dmitry, but it’s on its way.
