Briston Maroney - “Freaking Out On The Interstate” - 2018.
This one got me immediately. I had never heard of Briston Maroney, even though he lives in Nashville and has been around for awhile. I was watching a bunch of Treehouse Sessions because a buddy shoots them and they’re cool, but after hearing this performance I stopped dead and listened to every Briston Maroney song I could find instead. I guess he was on American Idol at one point, but the only thing Idol about him is that he’s like the lovechild of Casey Abrams and Car Seat Headrest. His guitar tone is perfect. His lyrics are aching and heady. His music makes me feel like I’m 16 again, driving down Michigan dirt roads under blankets of stars, wondering what the future will look like.

Taking a page out of the Daytrotter book, Chicago based recording company “Treehouse Records” have teamed up with online music publication “Consequence of Sound” to bring you what they are calling “The Treehouse Sessions”. Treehouse Records creator Matthew Gieser says “The idea is directly intended bring competition to “Daytrotter” style live sessions” another Illinois based recording studio. I discovered the somewhat secret show via Facebook when Twin Peaks posted “Chicago: first 50 RSVPS get into a show we're taping for Consequence of Sound today at 5pm” I've seen these guys perform once before, but it was in a crappy venue with an obstructed view. Thought this would be a rad chance to really soak up their sound in an intimate setting. The studio is slightly hidden on Chicago's west side between Diversy and Fullerton, and shares a space with what looks like a kickboxing gym. The outside of the building is misleading, as if it could be an abandoned elementary school. Inside it's a different story. The studio shines with a modern decor glow. There is an antique jukebox in mint condition, a life size Elvis mannequin, neon signs, and a giant shark “autographed by all who have recorded here” protruding from the wall. It's a comfortable laid back vibe as the attendees mosey around and relax on the various pieces of furniture spread through the 5,000 sf venue. Leg over thigh I sit awaiting the performance when an excited fan yells “They're ready to play! Twin Peaks is starting!”. The 30 or so of us who showed up leak into the room where CoS cameras are stet up and ready to shoot. I get a front row seat (standing of course) to see these young rockers do their thing. They start with a couple singles which they play twice through for “Treehouse Sessions” purposes, I don't mind at all as they are solid tracks that sound unique each run. I find uniqueness to be a theme throughout TP set. Each of the four guys shred their instruments as though they are all playing different individual songs, yet it somehow comes together in rock harmony. Cadien, Clay, & Jack split vocals as Connor lays down the beats. Taking request from the audience the guys play a fulfilling set, sometimes leaving their area to jam out with the crowd. Listening to their records I hear a band who is still trying to find their identity, but having fun while on the quest. Newest record “Wild Onion” is a novel of tracks most good, some great, portraying Twin Peaks as a chameleon of band who can switch up their sound, and still make it sound like they know what they're doing. These dudes are dabbling in different genres and it's totally OK. Fortunate to live in a city that produces such talent.
