I've gotta say, the last thing I envisioned when I listened to Twin Shadow's tantalizing single "Five Seconds" was an all-out biker gang war. And I certainly didn't picture George Lewis, Jr., chain-choking, helmet-pounding and knife-throwing his way - albeit with a partner in justice - through an entire crew of opposition cronies. But the [...]

Theo keeps heading down the road of outside-the-box head space with this new Twin Shadow produced track previewed from his forthcoming Rose Island release. The new collab "Golden" yields as much new wave, coastal beach vibes as it does hip-hop r&b.

Hip hip hooray for New Wave! Yes, if this track doesn't conjure up images from 802s John Hughes classics like The Breakfast Club, Some Kind of Wonderful, and Pretty in Pink then I guess nothing will. This is so steeped in New Wave bliss and I love it. Twin Shadow is the stage name of American musician George Lewis Jr who is about to release his sophomore effort, Confess which "Five Seconds" can be found on. Twin Shadow - Five Seconds

George Lewis, Jr., aka Twin Shadow, sure does make time travel easy. The fearsome 802s-style hooks are more than enough to transport a listener back to a time of VHS, techno, IBM, Miami Vice and the DeLorean. Sure that boils it down way too far, but it's the flamboyantly melodic awesomeness and danceable rhythms that [...]

This is a cool track posted up at Some Kind of Awesome earlier this week. Neon Indian, out of Texas, gets the Twin Shadow work over on this chill remix. Hex Girlfriend - Neon Indian - Twin Shadow Remix - Click to Download
Two of my favorite sneaky-good performances at the past two Pitchfork Music Festivals in Chicago belong to Neon Indian and Twin Shadow - they both kind of sound like they could be superhero names, don't they? - and now the two bands are together on a remix of Neon Indian's "Hex Girlfriend" done by George [...]

Here's a beautiful remix from Twin Shadow 's for Neon Indian's "Hex Girlfriend" which belongs to his brilliant album "Era Estrãna". Really nice version of this song. Enjoy...! Follow Golden Scissors on Facebook

Chris Taylor, aka producer, multi-instrumentalist and backing vocals for Brooklyn’s Grizzly Bear, has confidently tackled many new projects since the quartets 2009 release, Veckatimest . He started his own label called Terrible Records, produced records for Twin Shadow and Blood Orange, and has broken ground with his recorded and self-produced Dreams Come True [...]
Collage by Ariel Chiesa A new Twin Shadow track dropped on Thursday. Hallelujah. There's nothing in modern music quite like George Lewis Jr's croon. That is, at least, until Bowie makes a comeback album. Lewis' latest endeavor is a cover of the 70's Experimental Italo-Disco group Bagarre. Chris over at Gorilla vs Bear was cool enough to forward along a Bagarre EP so I had something to compare

It's easy to become addicted to the synthesizer - I remember getting hooked as early as age 7. The problem tends to be, because of the instrument's ease of use (press key), and the one's generally self-inflated sense of talent, we end up flooding the independent market with over-produced dubstep / drum-and-bass messes. (I'd guess that the number of unmemorable, shitty dubstep "remixes" on SoundCloud alone number in the tens of thousands.) Just because the instrument is straightforward, doesn't mean it's easy to coax brilliance out of it. A good user is hard to find. New Jersey-based producer [...]

The music video for Oh Land's "White Nights" has finally arrived, and it is so worth the wait. When I heard the directing collective CANADA was at the helm, and that she had a 5-day shoot in Barcelona, I expected a collage of trippy and stunningly-shot visuals. Well, it's safe to say the end product [...]

The chances are good you're very hungover on this lovely Saturday morning, especially if you were at our giant end of summer bash last night. So, listen to this nice calm song. Twin Shadow is a long time favorite of mine; "Castles In The Snow" is still one of my favorite 702s influenced tracks of all time. On that note, I was sad to see that Shadow's regular disco-tech style was a little dialed back on this one. Nonetheless, great track. The only thing really preserved about the original "Heart in [...]
Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before [...]
