Lynch took to social media on Tuesday to confirm the news, in which a limited series of eight NFTs will be up for auction on a brand new website created for the project.

Dear Twitter Friends, good morning. A film I made for @interpol will be auctioned in 7 pieces on @superrare

The NFTs will be based on Lynch and Interpol’s collaboration in 2011, which saw Lynch produce visuals for Interpol’s performance at the 2011 Coachella Festival and resulted in Lynch’s animated short film I Touch A Red Button Man getting mixed with Interpol’s song “Lights.”

“The new performances are stripped-down renditions featuring [Interpol lead guitarist] Daniel Kessler on piano,” said Paul Banks (via NME). “In fact, these more acoustic takes may be Interpol at their most poignant, digging deep to take each clip to new artistic heights.”

The auctions for each NFT began today and will last until November 9. While seven of the NFTs will be available to bid on, the eighth will instead be given away to one fan. “What makes us so excited about this release is it memorializes the collaboration between David Lynch and Interpol,” said Jack Spallone, Head of Crypto & Product at HIFI Labs, who are working in conjunction with Lynch and Interpol to release the NFTs.

“Using Ethereum, these NFTs can live in eternity as artefacts of cinematic and musical history. Just as David Lynch’s career helped push the boundaries of film and even fiction, it is now extending into the permanent universe of blockchain.”
