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.

Dance Through It
Twin Peaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she doesn't pay mind to it
She keep thirty-three twenties and a five and a one
Not for spendin' but for death when it comes
Yeah she dance through it, she dance through it
Got a problem that she's tryin' to hide
When she can't do it, she dance through it
Said she dance through it, she dance through it
Dance through it, she dance through it
When she sense that there's a danger near
She doesn't seem to care about it
She's got pretty bad news rainin' down in the two's
But she hasn't missed a step all night
Yeah she dance through it, she dance through it
Gets her heart beatin' fast all night
When she can't do it, she dance through it
Got a problem that she's tryin' to hide
Said she dance through it, she dance through it
Dance through it, she dance through it
Dance through it, she dance through it
Got a problem that she's tryin' to hide
Dance through it, she dance through it
Get's her heart beatin' fast all night
Dance through it, she dance through it
The lyrics of "Dance Through It" by Twin Peaks convey the story of a person who faces problems and challenges in their life but chooses to ignore them and continue living in their own way. The opening lines suggest that this person is constantly surrounded by problems wherever they go, but they simply disregard them and don't let them affect their state of mind. The mention of keeping money for death instead of spending it implies that this person is prepared for the worst but chooses to enjoy life regardless.
The chorus emphasizes the resilience and coping mechanism of this person. They dance through their problems, finding solace and release in music and movement. It becomes a way for them to escape and momentarily forget about the challenges they are facing. The repetition of "dance through it" reinforces the idea that this person has developed a habit of confronting their problems head-on while keeping a positive outlook.
The second verse adds another layer to the story, suggesting that even when danger is looming and bad news is raining down, this person remains unfazed and continues to dance. It implies that they have developed a strength and resilience to face adversity, refusing to let it dampen their spirits or hinder their enjoyment of life.
Overall, "Dance Through It" delivers a message of perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges. It highlights the power of music and dance as a means of escape and finding joy in difficult times.

My wife and I discovered twin peaks on our Honeymoon in San Francisco at the Outside lands festival. They played on the twin peaks stage! I was a fan immediately. We made plans to see them at Shaky knees in Atlanta a couple years later and got caught in some serious traffic and missed every song except strawberry smoothie.. I was so disappointed. Anyway great band!!
