Throughout the second half of 2017, Chicago’s Twin Peaks released a run of a half dozen limited-edition 7″ singles the band affectionately dubbed Sweet ’17. Only 300 copies of each 7″ were made, and subscriptions sold out almost immediately. But due to popular demand, Twin Peaks have compiled all of the songs from the series onto a LP release. Sweet ’17 Singles follows in the footsteps of Down In Heaven, the band’s 2016 full-length release, which expanded on the garage-inspired sounds of 2014’s Wild Onion.

In the final two Sweet ’17 Singles“In the Meadow” and “We Will Not Make It (Not Without You).” We had a blast sharing these with you over the past six months and are excited to announce the compilation LP! The record is available on our webstore now and will also be on sale at indie record stores on February 9th

the Sweet ’17 Singles compilation LP is out on Friday everywhere. Buy directly from us on tour, Thanks to all of you for your support with this series; it was a different way to release music and we really enjoyed making and sharing the songs with you this way. Looking forward to sharing some of them with you live in the coming weeks, too…

we’ve entered a new month and you know what the means: two more tracks from Sweet ’17 SinglesListen to “With You” and “Just Because” . These Chicago garage-rockers Twin Peaks are currently releasing music as part of their ‘Sweet ’17’ singles club.

The idea is to launch a new single every month until the end of the year and since we’re near the end of the year, that means that there’s only a couple of tracks to fit in before the end of 2017. So for the month of November – the penultimate stop on their quest – they’ve released ‘With You’ and a B-side, ‘Just Because’.

‘With You’ is a jangly, summery number with a few quips and dark lyrics embedded in there for good measure (“you’re just so ruthless, you’re just what I need”). Meanwhile, ‘Just Because’ features drum machines and wolf whistling among its hazy stomp.

Earlier in the year, Twin Peaks also released a track for Amazon’s Songs of Summer playlist, ‘Who It’s Gonna Be’.

“Sweet ’17 Singles” is a series we’ll be releasing through the end of the year. “Blue Coupe” is the seventh song from the series. Given our demanding touring schedule, we figured a good way to release new music without having to carve out the time to record a full length LP between tours would be to track whenever we could find the time, and release the music in a series of singles. This structure also allowed us the opportunity to experiment without a focus on creating a cohesive body of work. Twin Peaks’ “Sweet ’17 Singles” Series: http://www.twinpeaksdudes.com
