Did MEAT Clown contribute tracks to Crazy Clown Time?

They also revealed his singing voice for the first time (or in the case of “Walkin’ on the Sky”, his distorted murmurs). Taking the musical content from Inland Empire or Twin Peaks is one appropriate reference point when attempting to surmise what Crazy Clown Time sounds like. The other is a less travelled path: his actual previous work as a solo musician – namely the basic electro-pop efforts “Good Day Today” and “I Know“.

“Good Day Today” is a generic electro-pop effort with grimy house effects and vocal pitch distortion, while “I Know” is a more enjoyable and atmospheric work that is better representative of Crazy Clown Time. Knowing the idiosyncratic tendencies of Lynch’s films, many expected more innovation and left-field characteristics than “Good Day Today”. The tracks on Crazy Clown Time, while less accessible and occasionally duller, are noticeably more adventurous and dependent on ambience, like “I Know”.

The knowledge he acquired from producing “Good Day Today” and “I Know” is applied wisely here; there are still bits of engaging electro-pop, but they lack the straightforwardness and novelty feel of his past forays in the style. For some this makes his music even more difficult to listen to.
