If you're about to head out tonight, you should take a listen to the latest offering from Alex Cameron , (otherwise known as the babe from Seekae ). Having been a fan of Seekae since they first came out, I'm forever obliged to take a listen to whatever comes next from this Sydney based trio. The last we heard from the Seekae boys was the stunning ' Yech ', a mello, down-tempo jam laced with soul-rnb undercurrents. For some, it seemed as though the band departed from +Dome's aesthetic into more of the brooding, [...]
Querido George: Hace tiempo que quería escribirte, pero hasta ahora no me he sentido con fuerzas para ello. He preferido esperar a que se aclarasen mis sentimientos, a que todo ese dolor se diluyera en el paso de los días, ayudar con mi silencio a que cicatrizara la herida. Puede que me haya servido, o tal vez no, pero creo que es la primera vez que me veo con fuerzas para dirigirte estas líneas. George, supongo que ya sabes cómo me siento. Supongo que en realidad no necesitas que te diga cúanto amaba " Forget ", [...]
Twin Shadow se presentó la noche de ayer en el Auditorio Blackberry para la celebración del sexto aniversario de la productora 2 Abejas en la fiesta llamada The End of The World Celebration . Fue una noche tranquila con el auditorio adecuado esperando a la banda con entusiasmo. Twin Shadow salieron puntuales, tocaron canciones tanto del reciente Confess así como de su primer álbum Forget en un set de duración [...]
It was beautiful weather in Austin for the sold out show at the Mohawk on Friday night. Our entertainment for the evening was provided by rising star Twin Shadow and all seemed to enjoy themselves despite the super packed venue. Follow the jump for quick thoughts and photos from BGray. As soon as we entered the venue, our crew knew that we'd be packed into the outside area like sardines. This was surely the show that everyone wanted to attend on [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
@thetwinshadow Género: Indie Pop, New Wave. El dominicano afincado en Brooklyn George Lewis Jr., aka Twin Shadow , tiene previsto para dentro de nada, el 9 de julio, Confess su segundo largo. Su debut el 2010 fue de las gratas sorpresas de ese año. Ahora se espera confirmación con esta reválida. Para ir mordiendo tenemos el primer single, vídeo incluido, y por lo que se puede ver y sobretodo oir, está en línea de su aclamado debut Forget . [...]
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 [...]

Photography by Irene Sánchez Prieto After St. Vincent 's epic set , we headed over to the RTVE stage across the way to catch what was left of Twin Shadow . Before the schedules were released I had said that those two bands were really the two that I didn't want to overlap, but unfortunately I had to make a choice. Luckily, I think I made the right one: staying the full time for the former and only watching half of the latter. [...]
Twin Shadow is back with another album. After just one listen, it's apparent that he's greatly improved on a trademark sound that was already amazing.
'Five Seconds' is the new single taken from TWIN SHADOW'S forthcoming album Confess , which is due out this July on 4AD. Since 20102s unforgettable album Forget, TWIN SHADOW have become internationally recognised for their dark, love-lorn synth ballads. 'Five Seconds' is a bit more straight-up-and-down than other TWIN SHADOW tracks but still maintains the glorious amount of drama that they are famous for. Lewis' voice carries the track from beginning to end. Towards the latter part of 'Five Seconds' he is almost reminiscent of [...]
Twin Shadow stunned the indie world with his 2010 debut Forget . Today, he is finally ready to follow-up the rookie effort with Confess , which is due out July 10 on 4AD. Kicking things off with the same slick grooves he blessed us with two years ago, "Five Second" is our first taste of what is to come from the new project. Adding more synthesizers and '80s influence than ever before, this is sure to be a perfect, woozy summer soundtrack. [ via ] [...]
Género: indie pop. George Lewis Jr. el dominicano asentado en Brooklyn que irrumpió en la escena indie como una de las grandes sorpresas del pasado año, nos enseña nuevo single: Changes , un cover de inicios de los ochenta de Circus is Gone canción disco de la banda Bagarre , que ha puesto en circulación el 15 de septiembre. Conserva ese espíritu italo disco de la época, añadiéndole la frescura, vitalidad y dinamismo que marcan el estilo de George. Twin Shadow [...]
Words by Vicki Sometime last October, I was at Brillobox, watching a friend’s band finish up their set. They were the opening act that night; the headliner was called Twin Shadow , and I’d never heard of them. I wasn’t really interested in hearing this band, but it was cold outside and there was PBR nearby, so I stayed to watch Twin Shadow take the stage. A quick hello and introduction from their Freddie Mercury-esque frontman, and POW — Twin Shadow unleashed a burst of noise [...]

The first time I heard this song I liked it. The second time I loved it. And the third time we got married and made melody babies. Hmm... 'Slow' proudly steals from the 80s, songwriter George Lewis Jr. is clearly a Smiths fan and let's it all hang out in this one. He also sounds like he may have had a cold when he was tracking the vocal parts?? Anyway, another odd Twin Shadow fact came from a little birdy who told me (dressed in American Apparell and loafers) that George's songwriting powers are [...]
It's moody and dark in all the right places. It's groovy and danceable in all the rest. Twin Shadow's Forget - one of the surprise gems of 20102s musical landscape - is all about the vibe, and George Lewis, Jr. worked incredibly hard to make sure it was just the right mix of fun and [...]
"Un Morrissey negro, con algo de los Kings of Convenience y Prince". Así describió el presentador Jimmy Fallon (esa parte no está en el video mostrado) a George Lewis Jr , líder de los Twin Shadow durante su primera presentación de TV en cadena nacional en Estados Unidos “Castles In The Snow” , en plena promoción de "Forget" , el gran disco debut del artista dominicano-estadounidense. Esto es Twin Shadow en la NBC . Acá te dejamos también el link para que recordemos hace algunos meses, cuando [...]
