Chicago-based band Twin Peaks have released their “Side A” EP and shared a video for “Whistle in the Wind (End of Everything).” The EP was started pre-quarantine at Treehouse Records and then completed remotely. The “Whistle” video, created by frequent collaborators Weird Life Films and filmed in Chicago, features band member Jack Dolan. 

He explains the track:

“I came to writing this song around the same time my girlfriend had tested positive for the antibody test, meaning we had seemingly both contracted the virus early in quarantine. I remember having a false sense of security because of that, hopeful in what it meant for us. Are we safe now? Did we really just live through and survive something like this? Is life normal for us now? That brief moment ended up preceding so much more than we could’ve expected and this ‘impenetrable’ feeling I had then has since faded. It’s about coming to terms with a ‘new’ normal. The vulnerability it takes to stand up for the people around us, the soul searching and perspective it takes to honestly make sense of the current moment that will continue to evolve with or without you. It’s about breaking free from the safety of your own comfort zone and being honest with yourself about where you stand right now. We all need to take care of ourselves and each other more than ever, just don’t give up on the moment.”
