“gorgeously sung… If this is what ‘directing from beyond’ sounds like, it’s rather beautiful.” – Times UK, 7/2026

 

Alicia Witt releases Between Heaven and Earth, the haunting and deeply personal new album, August 28 via Thirty Tigers. Witt recorded the album live in New York City with producer Joe Henry and a band she assembled specifically for the project. Now, the album occupies a space suspended between transcendence and intimacy. On it, Witt channels “eternal unconditional love” and “the place suspended between heaven and earth.”

David Lynch’s influence and memory profoundly shaped the album. There, his impact on Witt stretches back to her first film role as Alia in Dune at age seven. “I can’t imagine who I would be without David Lynch,” Witt reflects. “He is weaved throughout the fabric of my life.” Throughout Between Heaven and Earth, Witt explores what she learned from Lynch “regarding love. The eternal nature of it, the idea that only love is real.” Moreover, she describes his presence as palpable during the record’s creation. “David was with us every day in the studio. All six of us in the band felt his presence.”

Witt is widely recognized for her acclaimed acting career spanning film, television, and stage. However, music remains a constant throughline in her life. She is a classically trained pianist who supported herself as a musician when she first moved to Los Angeles. Also, Witt integrates music into her creative identity, through her own songwriting and in many of her onscreen roles. She’s released multiple full-length albums, including Revisionary History (2015), The Conduit (2021), and I Think I’m Spending Christmas With You (2024). Here, Between Heaven and Earth represents the latest chapter in that ongoing musical journey.

Witt tracked the album live over four days, recording vocals and instrumentation simultaneously. There, she embraced what she calls a “visceral and eternal” energy, one that “could never be replicated.” Guided by Henry’s vision and the chemistry of the musicians in the room, the band created the songs instinctively and in-the-moment. Consequently, the album features minimal overdubs and an openness to what Witt repeatedly refers to as “that place”. Thus, the transcendent emotional state she connects to through Transcendental Meditation, prayer, creativity, and Lynch’s work itself.

The songs on Between Heaven and Earth explore themes of longing, fate, healing, surrender, nostalgia, gratitude, and connection through what Witt describes as a lens of “insistent optimism.” The title track embraces “a mystical connection with a brand-new person.” Also, they root themselves in “childlike faith in the possibility” and the belief that “it does no harm to dream.” On “Artifacts,” Witt examines “releasing ancient lessons that no longer serve,” gently excavating old wounds and learning “how to love.” Also, “Kindred” channels the feeling of “walls crumbling” and “barriers evaporating in a fabric made of light and destiny.” Then, “Build Me A Dream” reflects on “constructing the reality we wish to exist in” and recognizing “an eternal soul connection.”

Elsewhere, songs like “Freeze Frame,” “Test Drive,” and “Blue Moon” meditate on alternate timelines and nostalgia. Also, the peaceful acceptance of connections that were not meant to remain. On “Thank You,” featuring John Paul White, Witt transforms heartbreak into gratitude. Here, Witt reflects on relationships that “cleared the way for new relationships and opportunities to come in.” On “Love Anyway,” Witt sings about unconditional love that remains even when unreturned: “The love is what’s important. You love and give love without condition or expectation.”

Witt closes the album with “The Director,” a bonus track she describes as “communication with David” and “a collection of his words to me since he passed away.” She completed the song spontaneously during the album’s final day in the studio. There, she recorded a single uninterrupted performance while the microphones continued running during lunch break. “I just knew when I played this one that it had arrived and was complete at last,” she recalls.

For Witt, Between Heaven and Earth ultimately explores connection — to spirit, to memory, to other people, and to something larger than ourselves. “Too often, it seems to me, people imagine love in a vacuum,” she explains. “I know love to be eternal and unconditional.” Thus, the result is an album rooted not in bitterness or regret. Here, it’s rooted in surrender, gratitude, wonder, and the belief that “only love can change minds and hearts.”

“What all these songs have in common is that there is no bitterness. No angst, no revenge, nothing resembling hatred or regret,” Witt says. “This is my offering. May it bring you exactly where you need it to bring you.”
