Chi-town’s fastest rising band, Twin Peaks have shared their latest track off forthcoming album Down in Heaven (out 5/13 on Grand Jury). The song was premiered today on NPR Music as a “Songs We Love” feature, and is also the Zane Lowe World Record on Apple Music’s Beats 1.
Guitarist Clay Frankel wrote the track and sings lead on this one. This song is a chill and very wavy one, with Frankel’s snarl accenting the melodies the guitar parts form. Check it out below.

Cadien Lake James spoke about the band’s first impressions and how it came together:
Something I appreciate about ‘Holding Roses’ is that while it clearly seems to be about the end of a relationship, whomever it’s with isn’t ever specified; I didn’t first think of it as a girlfriend leaving, but of the exit of a friend, the passing of someone close. When we were recording it, I remember everybody getting giddy riffing on the percussion grooves entering in the second verse, where the live kit drops out for a couple measures, replaced with a number of tambourines, claps, and shakers we ran through our space echo with the addition of some “ooh’s” and “ah’s.” Things came alive with overdubs back in Chicago: the piano part really cemented some melodies between vocals and our friend Will Miller laid down a muted trumpet that completed the process.
Don’t forget that the band is hitting the road, both headlining clubs as well as opening for Cage The Elephant in arenas all over the country.
