'It's The Sound Of Me Stepping Into Freedom': Kesha Is Rewriting Her Own Story

Album Review: Twin Peaks - Down In Heaven

StarStarStar

"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.
