Jul 17, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Twin Peaks

Chicago-based five-piece Twin Peaks have announced a new album, Lookout Low, and shared its first single, “Dance Through It,” via a video for the track. Lookout Low is due out September 13 via Grand Jury. Check out the “Dance Through It” video below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates (including some newly announced shows).

Lookout Low is the follow-up to 2016’s full-length Down In Heaven and 2017’s singles series and compilation Sweet ‘17 Singles. Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, U2) produced the album, which was recorded at the Monnow Valley studio in Wales. The band consists of guitarists Cadien Lake James and Clay Frankel, bassist Jack Dolan, multi-instrumentalist Colin Croom, and drummer Connor Brodner. OHMME’s Macie Stewart and Sima Cunningham also contributed to seven tracks on the album.

Ariel Fisher and Léo Schrepel directed the “Dance Through It” video, which was filmed in Berlin and stars models Riya Hamid and Yosuke Kaneshiro.

The band’s Cadien Lake James had this to say about the song and video in a press release: “Writing and arranging ‘Dance Through It’ felt like a dive into and embrace of experimenting with a new palette for us. After having been directly involved in the creation and direction of all of our videos, it felt fitting to allow this song the breath of collaboration in having Ariel Fisher take the helm and run with it.”

Co-director Ariel Fisher had this to say: “Working with Twin Peaks on this visual concept felt synergetic. We shared a mutual love for the film Fallen Angels and wanted to tell a story where the camera angles and lenses gradually shift as the narrative progresses. We wanted the viewer to become the participant, as we step into the actress’s shoes and begin to see the world as she sees it.”

A press release describes the new album like this: “Where their last LP, 2016’s Down In Heaven, and 2017’s Sweet ‘17 Singles compilation were adventurous and compelling updates on their youthfully raucous formula, their fourth album, Lookout Low feels like a total revolution. Their most deliberate and seamless record yet, the album is a collaborative triumph, propelled forward by Twin Peak’s near-decade-long bond.”
