 Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, Chrysta Bell is a singer/songwriter who traverses several styles of alternative rock and dream pop. With her first band, the Texas-based swing jazz ensemble, 8½ Souvenirs, she went on to release two albums: 1998’s Happy Feet and 1999’s Twisted Desire, both on RCA Victor. 1999 was the year in which she was introduced to visionary director David Lynch by a mutual friend. Having established an instantaneous rapport, Bell and Lynch made plans to work together as soon as possible, and went on to finish writing a song together after one day in a recording studio. This was to be the spark of a long collaborative partnership between the two, beginning with the track "Polish Poem," which Lynch went on to include in his 2006 feature film Inland Empire. Bell released her first independent release, Bitter Pills & Delicacies, in 2010. She swiftly followed up with her label debut for QQ5 and La Rose Noire Records, This Train. The album was co-written and produced Lynch, combining Bell's soothing vocals and illustrative lyrics with Lynch's affinity for languid, reverb-laden blues and jazz-rock. The pair went on to collaborate further on the 2016 EP Somewhere in the Nowhere. The following year, she put out her third full-length, We Dissolve. The album marked a distinct shift from her releases with Lynch, incorporating elements of soul, jazz, alt-rock, trip-hop, and dub. Her creative endeavors with Lynch did not dwindle, however, with Bell making her major acting debut in the third series and 2017 revival of Twin Peaks, portraying the role of FBI Agent Tammy Preston.
