Do you ever think about what would have happened if Twin Peaks had lasted longer? Or if it was on TV now instead of in the 90's? I do. It's a thought I have kind of a lot, but here's one reason why it's recently come to mind: Terminal Twilight's cover of Jody Reynolds' 1958 song The Fire of Love. That would be the perfect song for Terminal Twilight as a 2010 version of The Roadhouse band to play. BUT let's hope a remake of Twin Peaks NEVER happens, so that thought can just live in my nerdy mind.
Back to Terminal Twilight.
The LA duo's other songs are a little more slow mo disco and a little less Julee Cruise, but are still total gems reminiscent of a Dario Argento film or 4 AM, or a Dario Argento film at 4 AM, either way. The standout track upon discovering them and listening to songs from their recently released 45rpm 12" Black and Blue is the title song. Black and Blue is a 120bpm jam full of subdued horror movie panic via layered ice cold female vocals and vintage synths...or in other words, everything I want a song to be. Actually all of the songs on their Myspace page are definitely worth checking out and if you like what you hear be sure to jump over to Infinite Soundtracks to buy the record and support a brand new indie label.
As for right now you and I can listen to (and watch the video for) The Fire of Love. Also, that gum you like is going to come back in style.
