Totally outside of this thread's timeframe but I don't think there's a thread for 'old music Lynch would probably get around to using at some point if he weren't very likely retired from filmmaking' so here's a bit of proto-Hurley for y'all.

If we're going that far back, I would recommend Friday's Child by Lee Hazelwood, and Lee Hazelwood in general.
But if it needs to be late 80s / early 90s, try Slowdive's version of the Hazelwood song "Some Velvet Morning".
Also maybe the Sundays' version of 'Wild Horses'.
'On The Low' and 'Around My Smile', by Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, are from 2001, but they are even more Lynchian than anything Sandoval did with Mazzy Star.

Wings Of Joy era Cranes would fit this right?

Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, and the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble are blatant Badalamenti/Lynchcore but I guess everyone knows that by now.

Much later than the timeframe of this thread, but I was once in a dark room with a slow-flashing strobe while LCD Soundsystem's 'Christmas Blues' was playing and it felt like Frank Booth or Jacques Renault might've been lurking in the corner.

Spell's Seasons in the Sun album fits this aesthetic pretty closely. slightly sinister covers of '50s-'70s pop songs that were slightly sinister to begin with. admittedly, all of the originals (that I've heard) are more powerful and less self-consciously grimdark than Boyd Rice's reimaginings

The Innocence Mission fits with this, though much more with their albums from 1995 onward ("Bright As Yellow" et al).
Cowboy Junkies' Whites Off Earth Now!!! fits with this as much as The Trinity Sessions.

Also John Lee Hooker/Van/Booker T's 1991 "I Cover The Waterfront" and the Hooker/Miles The Hot Spot OST songs.

Lisa Germano and Calexico's one-off OP8 album from 1997 might be tangentially related to this specific aesthetic. I love it a lot and more folks need to hear it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7CC4G906hw

Tarnation - Gentle Creatures fits pretty well (from ‘95, though)
