As Lewis explained to Stereogum in February, his new material is still very synth-heavy, but with more emphasis on sampled acoustic drums, as evidenced [...]
[ Twin Shadow ] George Lewis Jr. has revealed that his self-produced sophomore album, Confessions ( 4AD ), will see a release at the beginning of July.

16 Volt has some preview clips (why not make these short clips embeddable?) from the upcoming album "Beating Dead Horses". Listen on Soundcloud . This is the best sound I have ever heard from E.P. and crew. So looking forward to this CD. Pretty cool to see they are on Metropolis. Release date is May 10th. I listen to Twin Shadow almost everyday, so I was excited to see they posted this live version of "Slow", recorded at SXSW.
The set featured: Castles In The Snow At My Heels Forget Slow Watch the full playback here. Catch Twin Shadow on his North American tour. MP3: Twin Shadow - Slow (Van Rivers Mix)

I guess I am just pleased with this whole situation. Go HERE to check out a few more songs. UPDATE.... Since 4AD's sessions website is so goddamn terrible I replaced the non loading video with this video of Twin Shadow doing laundry. It's more interesting, trust me.
