Down In Heaven

Spin - "The unhinged energy of the last record has been toned down in favor of a more sedate approach, and although that immediate, primal energy is missed upon initial listens, the more relaxed approach fits rather well." NME (Magazine) - "Aided by mixing from Kurt Vile collaborator John Agnello, this porch-side atmosphere is seductive, especially during countrified charmer 'Heavenly Showers'..." Paste (magazine) - "[T]he guys in Twin Peaks assuage any fears by writing all sorts of bluesy and power poppy guitar hooks that'll show up in your memory as much as any of the lyrics or vocal melodies on the album." Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] casual, charmingly low-key set of kitchen-table blues, slow-dance serenades, and unplugged power pop." Clash (Magazine) - "All jangly guitars, simple swooning lyrics and psychedelic scuzz, DOWN IN HEAVEN is the sound of the Chicago now-five-piece really finding their sound.and having a total blast along the way."

シカゴのぬるま湯ガレージ・ロック・バンドが2年ぶりにご帰還です! 中心メンバーが体調不良のなか、ゾンビのポスターだらけな部屋に引きこもって曲作りを行ったそうで、アルバムのテーマは〈死とセックス〉。呆れるほど本能丸出しの歌詞が逆に清々しく、青臭いメロディーともジャストフィット。60sサイケ調のレイドバックした雰囲気といい、ひ弱な歌声といい、ガールズの登場時と少しだけ重なる部分もあります。
