Cult filmmaker-turned-singer/songwriter, CM Talkington, returns today with his latest offering, “Space Invaders,” a haunting and gritty meditation accompanied by a music video assembled from documentary footage shot over the past 6 years by the artist during his recovery from colon cancer.
CM Talkington is perhaps best known for writing and directing the cult classic western psychedelic road opera Love & A .45 starring Renée Zellweger (in her first leading role), Peter Fonda, Rory Cochrane, and Gil Bellows; but music has always been one of the most important, and until 2020, private parts of his life.
Since then, Talkington has released his debut album, Not Exactly Nashville (2020) and Texas Radio (2023) (featuring vocals from Zellweger) to much critical acclaim.
On “Space Invaders,” Talkington shares, “I channeled this song out of the aether with Cisco De Luna & my sacred friends The Guardians Of The Garden. Praying Mantis, Bee, Butterfly, Caterpillar & Hummingbird.
There’s something wonderful happening right now. An ancient powerful energy is rising from within to protect our Sacred Garden from “Space Invaders” intent on destroying it.
This song is a clarion call to all humans willing to stand with The Guardians to defend The Garden.
“Stream the dream on your inner screen…”
