    Twin Peaks have created a thing of beauty and overwhelming supremacy: if you want a reminder of how exciting music can be, listen to Wild Onions

  2. 9.0 |   NME

    Youthful vigour makes the Chicago garage-rockers' UK debut unmissable
    Read Review

  3. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    The 20-year-olds have more than enough chops to rise above the rest
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    Makes a huge impact from beginning to end
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   DIY

    Masters of their craft, this grand exploration could probably go with some cutting down and honing exercised, but these are fresh faces heading out into the great unknown

  6. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Twin Peaks somehow manage to translate the last ten years of American guitar music into a 40 minute package that will help you remember why you fell in love with all of the bands which ‘changed your life’ in the first place

  7. 8.0 |   NOW

    It's a rambunctious set of righteous, untamed garage rock, damaged and better for it.
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   The Music

    This is lo-fi slacker garage noise at its finest and most boisterous, and apart from the clear directness of the band’s music, there’s not much more that has to be said

  9. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Listening to Wild Onion just makes you hungry to see what else they have in store

  10. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

    This time everything's up-front and raucous
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Lacking the necessary cohesion to make it a truly stellar album, Wild Onion instead plays like a wildly enjoyable compilation of like-minded musicians exploring the possibilities afforded them by a future that is wide open

  12. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The spunky quartet pull off Exile-era Stones strut and Velvet Underground guitar poesy with sophistication that's beyond their years
    Read Review

  13. 6.9 |   Earbuddy

    A deliberate, mature album full of heavy guitars, big hooks, and all-hands-on-deck choruses
    Read Review

  14. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    They seem to be offering two distinct versions of themselves: in one, they're good-times party rockers, and in the other they're heartbroken sweethearts
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   The 405

    There's some great individual tracks here, but they need their next full-length to be less Jekyll and Hyde and more Laura Palmer and Maddy Ferguson
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Q

    It aims for the timeless feel of a late-'60s Rolling Stones album. Print edition only
