X Files actor David Duchovny is releasing his first music album.

He announced on Tuesday he’ll release Hell or Highwater on May 12. The album will include 12 tracks he wrote.

Duchovny has won two Golden Globes and is best known for his roles in the TV series The X Files and Californication.

He says in a statement making the album was a “dream come true”, though he adds it’s shocking to think he has a musical career.

The first single is the title track and already is available. The music is being released on ThinkSay Records.

Duchovny will star in the upcoming NBC series Aquarius, which debuts on May 28, and returns as agent Fox Mulder in the six-episode reboot of The X-Files. The actor on Tuesday confirmed that major characters will also appear in the show. Speaking to David Letterman on the Late Show, Duchovny revealed that his mysterious nemesis the Cigarette Smoking Man (played by Canadian actor William B. Davis) and Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) will appear.
