Yesterday's good highlighted some of the year's best debuts, which makes today the perfect opportunity to highlight tracks from some of 20122s most impressive sophomore efforts. I can only imagine how difficult it is to follow up a debut album, especially when the sophomore release is in high demand. The bands below most definitely avoided the dreaded "sophomore slump", none better so than The xx. Coexist was my most anticipated release of the year and it exceeding all of expectations. Easily my favorite album of the year. And like yesterday's good, the tracks below are a very small [...]
There's still a whole month left in the year, but we have a hunch INK are going to top the list of our favorite new artists of 2012. The London duo floored us - along with the folks over at the Guardian - with their debut track, "INK Goes On." The two have done it once again with a fantastic, indie pop rendition of Twin Shadow's "Five Seconds," which we are proud to premiere here on ATG. Stream it below or grab a free download of the cover in exchange for a like over [...]
Thank God Twin Shadow didn’t release a music video the likes of his indie-electro counterparts (see M83’s “we own the sky…), filled with generic shots of youth running through fields, flying kites, and looking cool. Instead, the video for “Five Seconds” is anything but generic, it’s borderline absurd. This absurdity however is precisely what makes [...]
It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a track on here, but it only takes one song to bring me back. “Five Seconds,” the latest from new wave artist Twin Shadow , is a driving, 80’s-fueled 4 minutes that I can’t get enough of. I hope you feel the same. Listen to it on SoundCloud baby.
Twin Shadow - Confess By Russell Warfield There’s a moment during the bridge to the pulsating and brilliant ‘Patience’ where you can actually hear the tightness of the guitarist’s jeans. So many artists – or, more accurately, the reviewers of so many artists – throw around words like ‘homage’, ‘throwback’ and, the worst offender, ‘nostalgia’ (guilty!) that it’s ironically refreshing when an artist like Twin Shadow comes along and wholly inhabits the era he’s invoking, never winking, not self-consciously mining the past, [...]
George Lewis Jr. looking quite dapper, the badass kind. He is decked out in leather and leopard print shaving his face with a switchblade. This is the second Biker video Five Seconds was the first. Twin Shadow dropped "Confess" July 10th, 2012. Run My Heart - Twin Shadow posted by: @VNSSAWBSTR
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Why would any girl pick another guy over Twin Shadow ? We're not sure either but check out the video for "Patient", where George Lewis, Jr. (aka Twin Shadow) fights over a lucky lady. The video picks up where "Five Seconds" left off and of course in true Twin Shadow tradition, includes leather, motorcycles and badassery. Sigh…. Click here to view the embedded video. Confess is out now on 4AD .
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 "Five Seconds" Not sure how we haven't posted this video yet, but the day Twin Shadow's album Confess is released is as good a day as any to watch the 802s soaked biker fight extravaganza. "Five Seconds" is directed by Keith Musil and is off Twin Shadow's Confess released today. -Alex [...]
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.
Today I have brought you guys a little taste of George Lewis Jr's newest album "Confess" that has been getting rave reviews all around the web. Download/Listen to "Confess"

As an extremely important and relevant online music publication, one of the perks is that we get albums in advance of their release date. I tell you this not to make you feel jealous, but instead to highlight the fact that I've had Twin Shadow 's new album Confess for at least a month now and I'm still playing it multiple times per week. Just based on the amazing "Five Seconds" I knew the album would be something special, but I didn't know [...]
Twin Shadow releases his second LP Confess next week, and you can now stream the whole thing below. continue reading >>
This is a killer video (literally) and killer song. "Five Seconds" is the first video from Twin Shadow's new album Confess out July 10th. Directed by Keith Musil the video is based on the novel "Night of the Silver Sun" written by George Lewis Jr and Eric Green. Part II of the video will be revealed in the follow-up, "Patient". The new album and video are inspired by the motorcycle rides Twin Shadow used to take on the [...]
