Of the chanteuse, Lynch says Bell “is not only a killer performer, she also has a great intuitive ability to catch a mood and find a melody that’s really spectacular” and recalls, “The first time I saw her perform, I thought she was like an alien. The most beautiful alien ever.”

The director wrote and produced Bell’s debut 2011 album, “This Train,” as well as her 2016 EP, “Somewhere in the Nowhere.” Evocative of Lynch’s film and television productions, both retro-tinged releases feature dark and airy musical soundscapes conjuring a dramatic atmosphere that allow Bell’s sensual vocals and soulful melodies to take flight. The closing moments of his surreal epic “Inland Empire” featured the duo’s song “Polish Poem,” a classically Lynchian ballad.
