After "Shadow" , Jack Tatum has released another track off of the upcoming  Wild Nothing   album, Nocturne , called " Paradise " that features the band's signature beach-y, sunny, and warm sounds. The track has a sneaky way of making you feel like you're living in the 80s or maybe watching the closing credits of the Breakfast Club (or any John Hughs film, for that matter), and its fantastic. Its also super dance-able (and kind of difficult to listen to while sitting at a desk). Listen to " [...]

Sure, George Lewis Jr.'s brand of new wave emo pop feels like it could soundtrack the climactic moment of your proverbial 802s flick; with synths a roaring and his Peter Gabriel styled vocals, you can so easily picture the kiss under the stars that happens at about minute ninety-five of an entire decade of cinema. But what separates Twin Shadow from sonically comparable acts is the utter thematic coldness Lewis Jr. evokes in just about every track. This narrator looks a lot like the guy on the cover of the album; he wears a leather jacket and he doesn't really [...]

*sigh* Yet another 80's inspired album? With bands like M83 at the forefront of the 80's dream-pop revival and the excellent soundtrack to Drive already available, do we need more of this stuff? Yes. Yes we do - because 'Confess' is more than worthy of your time. It's the sophomore album from Twin Shadow, aka American musician George Lewis Jr, following a motorbike accident. The production of 'Confess' replicates the exhilaration of getting back on the road, chasing the sun down empty highways - [...]

I was never a huge fan of Twin Shadow but this new track reminiscent of 80s pop is so catchy that I can't help but sing it to my self all the time. Related posts: Twin Sister- The Other Side of Your Face Twin Sister is my latest obsession. Their dreamy instrumentals accompanied...

George Lewis Jr . (former bedroom producer TWIN SHADOW , whose first album, Forget , cut through all the bullshit and established him as a musical artist for, like, realsies) is getting back on the bike, literally and metaphorically. Eighteen months after Forget 's release he comes offering Confess , an album spawned of motorbike crashes and the euphoria of early morning rides. It's Eighties New Wave. Not the mock 802s New Wave that's been inescapable in the music industry over the past few [...]

Twin Shadow brings some better production and a stronger new wave aesthetic on this sophomore album, but the songwriting and lyrics seem to slip. WATCH THE REVIEW

La saga de videos de Twin Shadow continúa. El proyecto capitaneado por George Lewis Jr. estrenó el clip para Patient , que continúa con la temática seguida por Five Seconds .

Para todos los que ya escucharon el nuevo disco de Twin Shadow (que les recuerdo que apenas sale a la venta hoy), el nuevo video perteneciente a este material es " Patient ", sencillo sucesor de " Five Seconds ". Digamos que la historia es la mera continuación de lo que vimos en el clip para el primer video del nuevo álbum, bajo la dirección de Keith Musil.

George Lewis, Jr. sings to the cheap seats with aching abandon on Twin Shadow's sophomore album. He doesn't always make it, but his ultra-confident, high-gloss sincerity is more often than not pretty hard to resist anyway. George Lewis, Jr. is an honest man. He's been refreshingly upfront about his decision to grace his second album's cover -- "I'm a good-looking guy" -- as well as his adoration for his much-maligned home state of Florida, the superiority of Puerto Rican hairdressers, and his voracious appetite for drugs and women while on tour. His 2010 debut as Twin Shadow, Forget, followed [...]

• Shadows on Stars - When It Builds

We find ourselves at a curious juncture in the evolution of pop music. Never before have songwriters squeezed the hand of the past with such enthusiasm. As the children of the 1980s become the artists of today, the decade's sounds have become so pervasive that it's genuinely difficult to know whether you've encountered a new composition or unearthed a quarter century old gem. From indie to mainstream, Toro y Moi to Gaga, music is increasingly built around a throwback sound and ethos, and in an art form that lends itself to faddism unlike any other, style has emerged as king. [...]

Confess , Twin Shadow’s sophomore release, is what happens when a man learns how to cry in public. What can I say? It’s an emotional experience. Lewis is completely unrestrained in his vocal performances, and such free abandonment considerably raises the Twin Shadow stakes. This, along with his fully formed pop-structured songs is what distances him from those that mine the 80’s for its retro sounds then proceed to laze around thinking their work is done. Well, it’s not done – you need to write some fucking songs like Lewis has; show us some of your soul rather than hiding [...]

SHADOWS ON STARS, STREET NIGHTS, DJ JAKE MORRIS ( Dig a Pony , 736 SE Grand) What better way to come down off the explosive holiday than some good ol' American butt rock, courtesy of Street Nights? The sky-gazing synthers of Shadows on Stars also drop their debut record tonight, and their candy gloss will be the perfect aperitif to Street Nights' shredding.
