Twin Peaks Twists Our Minds With New Video

The quartet of sweet Chicagoans that is Twin Peaks didn’t just capture music fans’ attention with their shared name with the popular cult TV show- they pulled them in with their wild, jaunty riffs and tinny throwback psych-garage rock sound. Unrelenting, unyielding, and unabashed, Twin Peaks fuses surfer rock with their own pure reckless and endless energy rebranding the concept of “classic rock”. If you picked up their second release, Wild Onion earlier this summer, you were introduced to this newer, more matured Twin Peak- they’ve come a long way since 2013’s Sunken. Wild Onion comes to us in a much less aggressive manner, but doesn’t lose the momentum they’d begun building in Sunken.

The final track on Wild Onion is rhythmic and melodic, reminiscent of Tame Impala with its repetitive tambourine shakes and endlessly looping, “Ooohs” echoing in the background. “Mind Frame” stands in contrast with the bulk of the album, allowing the band to give pause and “stop and smell the flowers” musically. While the rest of the tracks capture that youthful vigor and energy Twin Peaks has made themselves known for, “Mind Frame” is the chill pill. And that’s reflected in their new video for the song, featuring the band riding motorcycles in front of a shifting green screen. Featuring either one or a pair of the members on a bike at a time, with some toting instruments and others focused on their driving, the video needs little context to achieve the trippy, vintage movie quality it appears to be seeking after.
