The concept of 80s poster boys Duran Duran teaming up with bespectacled chill man Moby to perform David Lynch classics might seem way too bizarre to be grounded in reality. But it's not, because it's happening. Life is strange. This news is real.

To expand, a David Lynch tribute album is on its way (titled The Music of David Lynch) and it will feature covers of songs featured in the director’s films and across his own solo albums, like the creepy, warbled “In Heaven” from Eraserhead (1977) and “Blue Velvet” from the neo-noir horror of the same name. Of course, Duran Duran and Moby obviously aren't the only artists taking part. The two-part, 16-track release will also include contributions from Sky Ferreira, Karen O, Zola Jesus, Lykki Li, and The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne amongst many others. All of the tracks were recorded live from a concert held in LA last year. Listen to David Lynch and Karen O's collaboration "Pinky's Dream" and read the full track list below.
