John Lurie has announced a new double album featuring music from his HBO and Max series Painting With John. The 56-track album is out March 15 via his Strange & Beautiful label. It features new music written specifically for the series and tracks from across his archive. It’s getting a digital and 2xLP vinyl release.
Painting With John aired across three seasons from 2021 to 2023. Its title mirrors to the title of his 1991 series Fishing With John. “This may be the last thing I do,” Lurie said. “I want it to be beautiful.” Find a video of Lurie working on the show’s music below.
