Album Review: Twin Peaks - Down In Heaven

"An album content to live in its own hazy sphere, and drag you in with it."

Chicago revisionist twangers Twin Peaks kick off their third album with a corker, the stunning Walk To The One You Love.

It captures everything ebullient about the quintet — the sunny-yet-blasted blues swagger, the '60s pop lyrical sensibility, the raucous off-kilter group backing vocals, the slanted and enchanted auxiliary instrumentals. The album is a languid variation on this crooked-grin-and-eyes-at-half-mast theme, although nothing truly captures the opening gambit's heights (although glam-grower Keep It Together goes close). This is an album content to live in its own hazy sphere, and drag you in with it.
