#1658 Twin Peaks - Wild Onion

Kids that draw on long traditions of trashy clattering guitars and murky psychedelic wanderings you say? Lot of that going around, but these guys mostly actually pull it off! Where the likes of Ariel Pink and Unknown Mortal Orchestra hide behind the detuned haze, its just a starting point for Twin Peaks - these songs jump with real imagination and swagger, pulling off a Thin Lizzy kinda searing joy. Sure, things occasionally stumble into a oily mudpuddle, but it's mostly a rippin good time 4/5

edit: goodgod, that second half of Telephone, two of the most perfect guitar lines I've heard in ages
