I'm kinda of annoyed with myself at how I could have come to miss the Twin Atlas (after writing this paragraph I discovered I hadn't, memory collapsing here). I mean they create the perfect template for every song that I hold dear, namely indie pop nuggets with lush harmonies and fine jangling chords. Think Teenage Fanclub or our very own the Very Most and you get the drift. Well, my annoyance

Short fuse! Download available until this weekend. Get it while you can! After 10 years together, The Twin Atlas has decided to hang it up. Sean Byrne and Lucas Zaleski met at the University of Delaware, and shortly thereafter started working together as The Twin Atlas. They were one of the first bands to offer much of their material for free, and now their entire catalogue is freely available to thank fans for their support. Hopefully, this move will garner some new fans on the way out the door. Fans of Teenage [...]

If you're looking for some new jams to soundtrack your lazy fall evenings, you're not going to do much better than The Twin Atlas. The duo's new record Good Light sounds like it was tailor made for drives at dusk or just sitting around the house with the windows open. Adjectives like "hazy," "lush," and "dreamy" keep popping up in my head as I listen to the band's music, and it only takes approximately two seconds into "Versions" to understand why. The band's wonderful harmonies combine with a galloping beat to form the perfect music for squeezing the [...]

Summer is coming to a slow and humid close and the autumn season is upon us, waiting up in the clouds as we sweat out the last few weeks of August. I've already started to listen to and associate some albums to the cool breeze and foliage, but I might have jumped the gun without giving the summer jams a perfect ending. The perfect ending I'm talking about is NJ's [by way of Philadelphia and NYC] The Twin Atlas and their new album Good Light . One quick skim through the [...]

die vier ersten alben, zum teil als cdr aufgelegt, erhielten bereits umfangreiche presse. dass heißt, the twin atlas hätten schon längst einmal in den fokus des klienicum geraten können. sind sie aber nicht. erst heuer mit der veröffentlichung ihres albums "good light" finden sie erwähnung in unseren matt ausgeleuchteten und viel zu stickigen hallen. the twin atlas sind ein duo, bestehend aus den beiden etwas übergewichtigen sean byrne und luca zaleski. in den frühen neunzigern sind sich die beiden an der uni von delaware begegnet, in der folge musizierte man gemeinsam und begann [...]

The Twin Atlas return with a new album in just a few weeks. The "Atlas" as they are fondly known by their fans round the world create atmospheric indie-pop songs. The band are Sean Byrne and Lucas Zaleski, who began playing together when they met at the University of Delaware in the early '90s. They began releasing music as The Twin Atlas in 2000. I think you'll find these two new songs some of their best work yet - Versions - The Twin Atlas [...]

This week one of my goals was to make a mix cd for a baby relative of mine. You can probably guess what was on it: a great deal of Sufjan Stevens, Jose Gonzalez, and Iron & Wine type jams. I asked by fellow blogger, the other C for any suggestions and he was able to provide me with a sweet new soft jam to include by a band I hadn't heard of called the Twin Atlas. It turns out that you can download quite a few of their tunes on their MP3 generous website here . [...]

The excellent WXPN blog out of Philadelphia recently featured local heroes The Twin Atlas on one of their morning downloads. I was immediately taken with "Fall Away" and pursued the duo to their website, where I found a rich cache of 17 downloadables . It was hard to narrow it down to these four, so if you like what you hear, go hear more. In some of these songs I seem to discern the birth of a new genre: lowfiemocountryfolkshoegaze. Or not. (I'm hoping Peter over [...]
