Twin Peaks was formed by four young Chicago natives -- vocalist/guitarist Cadien Lake James, guitarist Clay Frankel, bassist Jack Dolan, and drummer Connor Brodner -- in the early 2010s. The guys had known each other and been friends since elementary school, but only formed a band after the duo James had with his brother Hal split up so Hal could join the Smith Westerns. They began playing together near the end of high school, then went on tour during their senior year. Before heading out on the road, they had quickly and cheaply recorded an album in James' basement to sell in order to keep them in gas and beer. Titled Sunken, the album caught the ear of Autumn Tone, which issued it in the summer of 2013. After graduating, James, Dolan, and Brodner headed to Olympia to attend Evergreen College, but they decided school wasn't for them, so they swung by L.A. to get Frankel and headed back to Chicago.
Once there, they began working on a second album with producers Andrew Humphrey and Colin Croom. Taking more time to craft their sound but never losing the wild and loose feel of their live set, the album showed that the bandmembers' decision to quit school and stick together was wise. Wild Onion was issued by Grand Jury in summer 2014, just a few weeks after Twin Peaks wowed the crowd at the Pitchfork Festival with their set. More festivals, including Lollapalooza, followed amid a relentless touring schedule with multiple trips across the U.S. and forays into Canada, Mexico, the U.K., and Western Europe before their third LP, Down in Heaven, arrived in spring 2016. With Croom joining the lineup on keyboards, the album retained Twin Peaks' rough edges while drawing inspiration from the reflective tone of favorite works from the late '60s (the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Beatles). The following year, they delivered the double-live album Urbs in Horto, recorded over three nights at Chicago's Metro and Thalia Hall in 2016. Over the next year, the band toured and released a series of 7" singles that were then compiled on 2018's Sweet '17 Singles. Also in 2018, Frankel released an eponymous album as Grapetooth with his then-roommate Chris Bailoni (Home-Sick) that combined garage punk and new wave influences.
Twin Peaks regrouped in the studio, this time with producer Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, Kings of Leon, Ray LaMontagne). Featuring guests such as Ohmme on backing vocals and Kyle Davis (Cage the Elephant, Evangelicals) on auxiliary percussion, Lookout Low saw release in 2019.

Twin Peaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make every movement, do it to the groove
You will not be hungry for long if you work it
And what would be the point if you didn't deserve it?
Eight long months later I feel better
I try to decompress all the things that tend to mess me up
They always mess me up
Ah, wake up to the rhythm of the city and I try to remember
Even my brothers have some trouble with each other sometimes things fall apart
It's the way that things are
It's the way that it is
Still, and I might, you have to suffer
You were never an example of someone who was givin' up, huh
You're never givin' up
And you had all the options, you probably needed someone around you
Even when you split me up, groovin' to the sound of the laughter
And if I listen to it closely, I can still hear all the love in his heart
Every time I take a look at the skyline, it makes me feel better
'Cause I just miss you down here where the other people try to move on
Now you're a star
The way that things are
The way that it is
Drivin' that car
The lyrics of Twin Peaks's song Blue Coupe suggest that success is achieved through hard work and being in sync with the rhythm of life. The opening lines urge listeners to utilize what they have and move to the beat to attain their goals. The second verse speaks of the struggle to overcome life's challenges, but acknowledges that it's just the way things are, and one must suffer to succeed. The final lines signify a realization of personal growth and success, as the subject has become a star, and is driving "that car."
Overall, the song is about the journey to attain success and the appreciation of the good things in life, which are sometimes taken for granted. The lyrics urge listeners to stay motivated and keep pushing, even when things get tough but also to appreciate life's moments of triumph.

i know this song just came out but i love it so much, i think i've listened to it every day for the past month. this song feels like those really transitional parts of your life where something crazy/bad happens and everyone seems to move on like everything is fine and it's normal but you can't, and you think they're weird/heartless for it. you feel like you're on a crashing plane and everything is burning but everyone acts like it's okay. but eventually you realize it has to be, because this is just how life is, things happen and eventually you accept it. i guess when you're at the center of something it takes longer to accept. this song feels both like being in the eye of the hurricane and looking out at the disaster, or looking at the remnants of one and just finally acknowledging that this is just how it is. this is how people die and change places and time moves. sometimes it's beautiful, but usually it just . is.
struggling really hard not to make this one of those comments where i sob out my whole life story,,, seriously i could go on for a million years about this song. i usually listen to it on the night bus and imagine myself driving a car instead
