George Lewis Jr.'s 2010 debut, Forget , was nothing if not unassuming. Chris Taylor (of Grizzly Bear) handled production that would rather have you disregard the fact that it could reasonably be described as lush, fulfilling and, very possibly, colorful. Twin Shadow is a character compiled of heartbreak, lonesome musicianship and probably a few too many long nights soundtracked by Depeche Mode's Some Great Reward . That flag was flown fairly low on that album, opting rather for more emotive instrumentation and esoteric phrasing. Two years later, that character serves no purpose in the frame of [...]

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Big hair, high-waist jeans and new wave pop are all things that belong to the eighties, right? Wrong. These are all things that aren’t hard to find at present, but unlike the first two on that list, George Lewis Jr. brings his take on eighties new wave to the present with a sleek soulfulness that makes for a plain sexy record in Confess. From the album title, it’s apparent that this is going to be somewhat of an intimate work, and Lewis does not disappoint on this [...]

Parece que el nuevo videoclip de Twin Shadow, “Patient” sigue la estela de lo narrado con su anterior videoclip, “Five Seconds” , ambos dirigidos por Keith Musil y pertenecientes a su nuevo disco, "Confess" (disponible en streaming ) de lo mejorcito del 2012 veremos como sigue esta historia inspirada en el “Night Of The Silver Sun” de George Lewis Jr y Eric Green, el tercer capitulo promete.

Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan [Domino] O que melhor define o Dirty Projectors ? O cuidado com os arranjos, a graciosidade de suas melodias ou as vozes que cantam essas notas? Swing Lo Magellan é o disco que nos devolve a chance de entender a banda, depois de um aclamado  Bitte Orca (2009). E há quem diga que desta vez está mais fácil. Offspring Are Blank é uma bela introdução, lembrando do swing de Stillness Is The Move , até que a guitarra [...]

As  Twin Shadow , George Lewis Jr. digs into the pop-friendly realm of blistering self-assessment where the only obvious method is to pump out insanely engaging, dance-friendly numbers. Throughout Confess , listeners aren’t sure whether to root for Lewis or hope he’ll just stop investing in unrequited love.  Regardless, his latest record sees him getting over his humble debut album, Forget , as an electronic star with a predisposition to bad decisions. Throughout Confess , he is thematically bound [...]

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

With his sophomore LP Confess, Brooklyn outfit Twin Shadow just might have given us one of our most favorite albums of the year. It’s undeniable, powerful, and just what we needed to hear.

    Twin Shadow nos presenta el video de "Patient", la segunda parte de la trilogía de aventuras en motocicleta que empezó con el video de "Five Seconds" . Su nuevo álbum  Confess  salió esta semana y lo pueden escuchar al final del post. Enjoy.     Aquí pueden escuchar Confess:   

In Twin Shadow 's last video for "Five Seconds" , George Lewis Jr was getting into some serious shit after being chased by a gang of rival hard bastards, but now in the second part to the ongoing saga, he's holed up in a bar as his gang dance-threaten a dude who stole his girlfriend. It ain't over yet, though, so make sure to check back for its conclusion. "Patient" is taken from Twin Shadow 's new album Confess [...]

Twin Shadow has just dropped, "Patient", the second video to come from his recently released sophomore (second) LP, Confess . continue reading >>

Having read of George Lewis Jr.'s sophomore Twin Shadow full-length Confess as being something of a dashboard banger burning tyre as it rides alongside Cliff Martinez' Drive soundtracking, it wasn't a record I felt particularly compelled to clamber aboard. Forget had a simple charm to it and indeed this time around Lewis Jr. rewires things quite substantially to comprise the shiny, shiny production values and extravagant bombast such a parallel may gear up. But change should be embraced, encouraged and above all admired, and from first exposure Confess may be [...]

When I first saw George Lewis Jr. perform as Twin Shadow , it was on a freezing cold January Saturday at Over The Rhine’s MOTR Pub after the release of 2010’s critically acclaimed Forget .  Coincidentally, this was also my first show at what is now my favorite music hot spot after moving back to Cincinnati a few months earlier.  At the time, I had given the albums a few spins and thought it was pretty good, but really wasn’t entirely blown away.  I found the fact that the album was released in November fitting as it seemed [...]

Member's Only jacket not included. 4AD, 2012 9.4/ 10.0 Nostalgia is always a prickly proposition. While certainly, the best artists steal, too much over-borrowing can lead to a product with no soul, all artifice and no art. It takes a real talent to expand on the past. [...]

Inspired by motorcycle romps in LA, Twin Shadow's "Five Seconds" is more short film than music video, complete with a badass fight scene in the woods.

I first heard Twin Shadow last fall sitting on the floor of my friend's bedroom. It was early in the night, but we weren't rallying for anything crazy - just a good time and some good tunes. He turned on George Lewis Jr.'s - ( Twin Shadow's real name) first album, Forget , and I was instantly hooked. It had such a fresh sound. It's one of those albums that you can play from the beginning and listen to it straight through rather than jump from this track to another. Needless to say, I've been [...]
