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.

Making Breakfast
Twin Peaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got egg yolk on my bed, Chinese food on the way
Watching the garden grow, straight into the sky
Got a candle by my window, it keeps me warm at night
Spending time together,
watch out, don't let it?
Nothing is forever that's right,
And I'm sitting in the back of a limousine, just going to a show
Wishing you were here right next to me, aw, but you already know
That I'm the one who loves ya,
watch out, don't let it get you down
And there will be no other,
that's right, don't let it get you down
Watching the garden grow, such a beautiful day
It's raining through the window but I like it that way
Watching the garden grow the color of your eyes
Is changing with the season and God only knows why
Spending time together, watch out, don't let it get you down
Nothing is forever, that's right, but don't let it get you down
Alright, get yo rave on!
The lyrics of Twin Peaks' "Making Breakfast" seem to be a simple ode to appreciating the beauty of life's little moments. Watching the garden grow and enjoying the rain through the window are portrayed as sources of joy and contentment, even if they are temporary. The eggs and Chinese food mentioned in the lyrics are references to the small pleasures of everyday life.
The verses also include a warning against becoming too attached to these fleeting moments, as nothing in life lasts forever. The lines "watch out, don't let it get you down" serve as a reminder to not let the transience of life bring you down or prevent you from enjoying the present.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of love towards someone specific, singing "I'm the one who loves ya" and assuring that there will be no other. The last line of the song, "alright, get yo rave on," appears to be a non sequitur, a humorous and unexpected way to end the song.

These guys were one of the last live shows I saw, back in 2019. Never had so much fun in my life, chill crowd and awesome band. Someone lit a joint in the crowd and Clay was like “I smell weed in here! Keep lighting up, we love it”
