Last night was a big one for Twin Peaks, who made their late night TV debut on Conan, playing “Walk To The One You Love” from last month’s Down In Heaven. Behold it here, then check out all the Fall headline dates that just went on sale over in our tour section.
Between a new album, a new tour, a sold-out show in Chicago, and celebrating 4/20 in May – it’s been a busy few days for the @twinpeaksdudes. So busy in fact that the boys released a new video for their popped-up track “Butterly” and we forgot to post about it. Oops. So ICYMI too we posted the video here. Give it a watch. Like any good cinematic experience there’s suspense, blood, and Clay’s naked butt.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE INTERWEB!! Today Twin Peaks bless us with their latest album Down In Heaven and 13 heavy-hitting tracks. This album is tightly crafted and will certainly take you places – all over the place actually in the best way.
There’s a little Stones, a little Lou Reed, and even a little of The Monkees. There’s a few bruised ballads and of course a few amped-up bangers. There’s crunchy power cords and catchy vocal harmonies (seriously, just try to listen to “My Boys” without those ba ba bas ear-worming into your mind).
There’s enough talent on this record to make people talk. Important people like the folks at Pitchfork, NME, and Flavorwire. But who cares what they think. Be an independent-minded fucker and go give the album a listen for yourself. Go now. We already loaded the @spotify playlist for you in the is post. Why are you still reading this?
If you made it this far, well, you didn’t listen to us earlier. But perhaps you’re looking for more information so here goes: you can see Chicago’s favorite dudes live this summer (!!!!) and peep the full schedule here. Buy your digital copy of Down In Heaven from iTunes or bathe in the lush sounds of vinyl over in our shop. And there is plenty of sweet sweet merch on the Twin Peaks’ website where you can COLOR ON THE ALBUM COVER! Send us screen grabs of your beautiful art work please.
Twin Peaks just released a new single “Holding Roses” and you can give it a listen here. It’s scuzzy. It’s Stones-influenced. It’s Zane Lowe’s choice for today’s World Record on Beats 1! NPR called the track “charming” with “some good old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll piano riffs [that] give the song musical depth.” We think it just fucking rocks. Listen for yourself and let us know what you think.
The latest track from the Twin Peaks is a distorted, doom-filled dance song that could, “quite honestly be summed up as ‘let’s have sex because we’re all going to die.” And the track certainly has a sense of the rushed, exhilarating anxiety that you can associate with the end of the world – or SXSW (where the band wrote this little number). We also dig the apocalyptic vibes of the lyric video and Clay’s penmanship.
Watch the full video below or catch the premiere over at Pitchfork and read a more in-depth discussion with the boys.
Praise! The dudes of Twin Peaks released a music video for “Walk To The One You Love” – the lead single off their upcoming album Down In Heaven. Walk the streets of northern Chicago with the new one-shot wonder music video—seriously they did it all in one take.
PS: The man in this shot with the white coat? That’s Cadien’s dad. No really…
This morning Twin Peaks announced their third full-length album Down In Heaven and shared the first single: “Walk To the One You Love.“ Watch the album’s teaser video and enjoy what Noisey calls, “the boys’ brand of Andy Griffith’s pot-head American youth.”
It’s out May 13 but you can pre-order your copy in the GJ shop on either vinyl or CD and secure a digital copy on iTunes. And be sure to catch them live as they finish their US tour and then head across the pond. Now get to it!
Well, well, well, America. Time to prepare. Twin Peaks are set to tear up most of the US from September to October alongside our friends in Wavves. That’s the tour poster above. This is going to be awesome for completely obvious reasons.
Record Store Day is this Saturday. If you buy one thing, buy this thing – “In the Morning (In The Evening)” 7″ on clear orange vinyl from twinpeaksdudes. And if you’re in Philly, man, you’re lucky, cause the dudes are doing an in-store at Main Street. 6:30pm. Sharp. And loud.
And yesterday stereogum unveiled the b-side – “Got Your Money.” Stream it below.
New. Twin. Peaks. Those are three of our favorite words. Earlier this morning the boys unveiled a new song, “In The Morning (In The Evening),” set to be released this Spring on clear orange 7″ vinyl. So clear. So orange. So twinpeaksdudes. You can get a free download over on their Tumblr.
In other news, all manner of festival appearances have been announced for our boys. Burgerama? Check. Sasquatch? Check. Forecastle? Check. The list goes on. They’re also headlining dates on their way to the Gorge, AND stopping here for a headline gig at Music Hall in May. Doesn’t get better than that. Check here for all the dates and tickets.
