Twin Peaks Lookout Low CD

Chicago’s Twin Peaks have gleefully embraced change ever since their 2010 formation

to become one of the city’s most essential rock bands. With their fourth album Lookout

Low, the sonic and creative leap the five-piece takes feels like a total revolution in their

youthful sound. The 10-track effort was recorded and cut live over three weeks in Wales

with legendary producer Ethan Johns. Thanks to the band’s dedicated approach to

rehearsing and demoing out their material before hitting the studio, the songs burst with

life and the undeniable magic of their live show.

2016's Down In Heaven connected with audiences in a big way, seeing the band taking

over late night on CONAN, while landing festival slots at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo &

Coachella, and tours supporting luminaries like Spoon, Cage The Elephant, and Wilco.

Armed with four excellent and collaborative songwriters, each member upped their

game on Lookout Low. Guitarist Cadien Lake James’ mind-bending opener “Casey’s

Groove” is expansive and reassuring, bassist Jack Dolan’s “Unfamiliar Sun” is patient

and affecting, guitarist Clay Frankel translates heartache into catharsis on the title track,

while multi-instrumentalist Colin Croom reaches new performing heights on “Ferry

Song.” Lookout Low shows that Twin Peaks is less a band and more a brotherhood, one

that’s endured for almost a decade.
