Excellent movie. Also check out the original soundtrack recording, which is considered a seminal work of avant-garde/industrial ambient: https://davidlynch.bandcamp.com/album/eraserhead-original-soundtrack-recording
Here the soundtrack is even more crucial than in other David Lynch movies.
Absolutely!
The mood and tone of Eraserhead and its soundtrack were influenced by Philadelphia’s post-industrial history. … Lynch and Splet used avant-garde approaches to recording on the soundtrack; including crafting almost every sound in the soundtrack from scratch using bizarre methods. The ambiance of the love scene in the movie, for example, was produced by recording air blown through a microphone as it sat inside a bottle floating in a bathtub.[10] Lynch and Splet worked “9 hours a day for 63 days” to produce the soundtrack and all of the sound effects in the film. Splet recalls the sound effects Lynch called on him to produce for Eraserhead as "snapping, humming, buzzing, banging, like lightning, shrieking, squealing” over the five years it took to produce the film and its soundtrack.
The Pixies doing In Heaven Everything Is Fine from this film is one of the all time best cultural references imo. 👩🍳
