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 ↴
Run out by mama, and every girl just gives me drama.
All my friends are looking older, but you still look the same.
And I'm standing by the corner; I see you walking on by.
Asking if I'm doing fine, like you're some friend of mine. Oh, you must have lost track of time.
And yes I got your letter. I didn't think they wrote those anymore.
And no, I ain't feeling much better, but I ain't still feeling so sore.
Nobody told me, that being lonely, was fucking horrible too.
I'll show you everything new. I'll show you everything new.
It's raining in Chicago.
The rain drops on my window.
It's been a while since we've spoken.
I guess my doorbell must be broken.
And I'm spending all my money. I've got to get some luck on my side.
Driving in the rain, early in the morning, with the sun rising up in the sky.
You ain't from 'round here. Why'd you come down here?
Must be a long way from home.
Forget the distance. It don't mean nothing. You're calling me from the phone.
You only call when I'm gone.
The lyrics of Twin Peaks's song "Good Lovin'" tell a story of longing for connection and the pain of loneliness. The singer describes feeling alienated from those around him: his mother, girls who create drama, and old friends who have aged. However, he finds hope in the presence of someone who remains constant - the person walking by the corner who asks if he's doing fine. This interaction sparks a desire to connect, a willingness to be a friend or sibling to the person. Later, the singer reflects on his loneliness and the difficulties of being alone. He spends his money trying to find luck, but it seems he only finds connection when he's not around. The song concludes with a melancholic message, perhaps indicating that the singer still feels lost and adrift.
One interpretation of the lyrics of "Good Lovin'" is that they reflect the experience of an individual who has recently moved to a new city or town. The singer talks about his mother and friends, suggesting that he has left his hometown or childhood home. He seems to feel disconnected and lonely, struggling to find new relationships in this new environment. However, there is a hint of optimism and hopefulness in the song. The singer is open to new experiences, willing to befriend or help others, and noticing the beauty of the sunrise even as he drives in the rain. Perhaps this indicates that he is on the cusp of finding a sense of belonging and connection in this new place.
