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 ↴
Irene would you tell me what you see?
This it's my world, would you tell me what you see?
'Would you tell me what you see?
Irene would you tell me what you see?
Irene would you tell me what you see?
This it's my world, '
Now it's my world, would you tell me what you see?
The lyrics of Twin Peaks's song "Irene" seem to be a plea from the singer to Irene, asking her to share her perspective on the world with him. The repetition of the question "Irene, would you tell me what you see?" suggests a sense of urgency on the part of the singer, who seems to be seeking a deeper understanding of the world around him.
The use of the phrase "this is my world" implies a sense of ownership or possession over the world, which could suggest a degree of narcissism or egoism on the part of the singer. However, the repetition of the question to Irene indicates a willingness on the part of the singer to be open to other perspectives and insights.
Overall, the lyrics of "Irene" suggest a desire for connection and understanding, and highlight the importance of seeking out different viewpoints in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of the world.
