I Fell Asleep To Twin Peaks Pt 1

~

words by tom johnson

There’s a feeling that oldsoul’s new track, the expertly-titled I Fell Asleep To Twin Peaks Pt 1, could do so much more; it could quite easily roll on for another couple of minutes, burrowing away down some flourishing instrumental rabbit-hole. That’s not, however, what it’s here for. Lifted from a record that chronicles Jess Hall’s sexual assault battles, as well as her subsequent fight and recovery methods, the new single says what it has to say and disappears again; each word carefully selected for its place within the track’s thrilling two-and-a-half minutes.

A direct and punchy indie-rock project, the quartet release new album ‘Coy’ on February 9th via Counter Intuitive Records, the label who have worked with the likes of Kississippi, Nervous Dater, Mom Jeans, and more.

“You were screaming, I was listening, and you nudged me out into the current,” Hall sings on the song’s opening lines. “Wasn’t sure if I was floating or sinking, drowning or drifting, but I woke up to your face telling me it’s just a dream.” From that moment the track bursts further in to life, the choppy guitars and rousing percussion making for a propulsive backbone to Hall’s importantly stern fixed-gaze that leads the whole thing.

A gnarly, significant start-point, you can stream the new song below right now and pre-order the new LP right here.
