What's new with Chicago band Twin Peaks

I enjoyed seeing the band at Coachella '17 when it played the Sonora stage. Read below for the latest news...

Twin Peaks' new album Lookout Low is due Sept. 13 via Grand Jury. Guitarists Cadien Lake James and Clay Frankel, bassist Jack Dolan, multi-instrumentalist Colin Croom, and drummer Connor Brodner worked with producer Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, U2, Kings of Leon), who says Twin Peaks is “the best Rock and Roll band I’ve heard for a very long time.”

The lead single is “Dance Through It,” with a video directed by Ariel Fisher and Léo Schrepel in Berlin. "Writing and arranging 'Dance Through It' felt like a dive into and embrace of experimenting with a new palette for us,” says James. “After having been directly involved in the creation and direction of all of our videos, it felt fitting to allow this song the breath of collaboration in having Ariel Fisher take the helm and run with it.”

“Working with Twin Peaks on this visual concept felt synergetic,” says Fisher. “We shared a mutual love for the film Fallen Angels and wanted to tell a story where the camera angles and lenses gradually shift as the narrative progresses. We wanted the viewer to become the participant, as we step into the actress’s shoes and begin to see the world as she sees it.”

A North American tour gets into gear in September. Tickets for newly-announced shows are on sale now.

Fans can pre-order Lookout Low at indie retail stores on two different exclusive color pressings immediately. When US fans pre-order at participating stores they'll get a "Dance Through It" 7", which features an unreleased song on the B-side, and will be able to return to the point of purchase to pick up Lookout Low on September 13th. The album is available on Orange Swirl LP or on a Chicago-area exclusive Electric Blue LP. A list of participating stores is available here
