Twin Peaks have released a new song today called “Butterfly,” the latest single off their forthcoming record Down In Heaven, out 5/13 on Grand Jury. The band is coming off a dope SXSW run, where we caught them kill it at the Fader Fort, so seeing them get back to business this quickly is a great sign that these guys just won’t stop until they conquer to Rock world.
Guitarist Clay Frankel said of the track:
This song was written in Texas last year for SXSW, when I was in a sickened state after playing twelve or so shows in five days. So the lyrics are a mixture of negativity and exhilaration. Exhilaration because I was doing what I most loved to do, and negativity because it was really taking a toll on my mind and body. Death was on the mind. Also sex. Also The Zombies (they played SXSW and there were posters of them everywhere). So I took the gentle and fleeting image of a butterfly and a simple group of chords and lots of yelling to make a sort of doomy dance song that quite honestly could be summed up as ‘let’s have sex because we’re all going to die.’
Hear it below and follow it along via the lyric video.
