If you enjoy the trippy, dreamlike pop sweetness of the Twin Peaks theme song and general soundtrack:
Try The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monae.
Wonderful for so many reasons, but in large part fascinating to me because Janelle Monae is obviously a Crazy Talented Young Genius.
Describing this album in words always leads to unholy Reviewers' Contortions so I'll just say it's a balls-to-the-wall musical reinterpretation of a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction film and that it's CRAZY and AWESOME and REQUIRES A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT POWER TO LISTEN TO.
The song: Janelle Monae, "Sir Greendown"; 2010
Plz enjoy.
Also, hey, that gum you like is going to come back in style.
Yrs,
