A nostalgia e a dor do amor, seja ele paternal, maternal, com um(a) parceiro(a) e principalmente a dor daquele amor que é "impossível" sempre criaram boas canções. Com The One não é diferença, George Lewis Jr. aka Twin Shadow depositou todo seu sentimento "f***** confuso", segundo o próprio, em uma bela música que agora recebe um videoclipe com imagens de sua apresentação na rádio KCRW. O clipe tem uma estética simples com a fotografia em preto e branco em imagens de seus companheiros de banda. A canção faz parte de seu álbum Confess , [...]
La nueva versión de “ The One ” fue grabada en la sesión de Twin Shadow para Morning Becomes Eclectic del 10 de octubre de este año para la KCRW . Es una versión acústica, sólo George cantando con su guitarra, “ The One ” se siente más intensa al desnudo, aparte de que en el video en blanco y negro que le da un dramatismo extra. Lewis Jr realizó un video de lo que significa para él el [...]
This summer, Twin Shadow released the very good sophomore album Confess . And today, they've released a digital single of the album track "The Ones" - not the version from the album, but a lovely acoustic rendition that frontman George Lewis Jr. played during a recent KCRW session. Lewis also made a shaky, cobbled-together montage of a video for that version, and it's below. Read More...
Rush Midnight is the solo project of Russell Manning, recent bass player for Twin Shadow and formally trained jazz musician. Russ is Brooklyn born and bred, and his music tells the sonic story of coming up in a nonstop city. Inspired further by travels across Europe, Brazil and Australia, Rush Midnight’s debut EP, personifies the thrill, mystery and recklessness of abandoning the guidebook and surrendering to forces of fate. With Twin Shadow frontman, George Lewis Jr., producing multiple tracks on the release, +1 is a late night strut through downtown New York: stylish, stripped-down rock & roll. Rush Midnight's debut [...]
Nowadays with the democratic exposure of music through the Internet, we can easily get in touch with diverse projects from the artists we love, and also discover great music by musicians who accompany these artists. Just to point out a few great acts that follow that route: there’s S. Carey , who also plays in Bon Iver ; BAHAMAS , the solo project of Feist 's former guitarist Afie Jurvanen; and TRUST , a Canadian duo, one of whom also plays drums in [...]
Photos by G. Twin Shadow On September 28, 2012 Music Hall of Williamsburg presented another great double bill of music at the sold out Twin Shadow and Niki and The Dove show. A day prior, the same lineup played the much larger (and also sold out) Webster Hall in Manhattan so it was a special treat to see this show in a smaller venue. A lot has been said online about Twin Shadow, but I rarely believe what I read since most of the [...]

Poolside opened during the first half of the tour, while Niki and the Dove played the second leg.

Rush Midnight is the solo project of Russ Manning (the former bass player of Twin Shadow ) whose debut EP, +1 drops October 30th. While he may be stepping out of the 'shadow' and into the spotlight, Rush Midnight didn't completely detach himself from his old band-member; Twin Shadow (George Lewis Jr.) produced multiple tracks on the release. Meanwhile, Rush Midnight's new video for "The Night Was Young Enough" is a sweaty, sultry dance clip (think 'Fame' meets 'Call On Me') that's sure to have viewers craving [...]

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 [...]

Twin Shadow has a new album out, but did you know that he is also an Olympic gymnast for the 2012 team currently representing Great Britain. Widely regarded as one of the ultimate hunks of Indie, George Lewis Jr . has some crossover appeal now that he is showing off his, BANGIN BOD, complete with RIPPED muscles and a SOLID core that can keep him pummel horsing BBs in any area code he wants. I'd let him play with MY parallel bars! He could do a floor exercise on me ANY day [...]
George Lewis Jr. welcomes Yours Truly into the backyard of his home in Silver Lake to play “Run My Heart”, a standout from his new album, Confess . Inspired by a motorcycle accident George was involved in a few years ago, Confess is suitably dramatic & exhilirating. Referencing the 80s New Wave close to its creator’s heart & with a cinematic ambition, the album is personalised by a lyrical concern that reveals Lewis Jr. to be the Don Juan with a conscience; louche, charming & melancholic in equal measure. [...]
There's something classic, and iconically American about the cover of Twin Shadow's new record . There stands the project's mastermind George Lewis Jr., pristine rockabilly pompadour combed beyond perfection, wrapped in a worn leather jacket, the look across his face somewhere between pretty boy smugness and outsider vulnerability. In all its nostalgic simplicity, it almost immediately locates Lewis in a long and romantic mythology of bad boys, stretching back at least as far as James Dean. Lewis' claim that Confess was inspired by a motorcycle accident, self-admitted fast living and debauchery on the road, even his slick, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , RPM , Q + A Tina Tyrell Credit two vehicles -- a tour bus and a motorcycle -- with leading George Lewis Jr., aka Twin Shadow , to make the sophomore album he did. The former imposed a kind of musical isolation, Lewis tells Spinner, chatting one recent sunny morning in the restaurant that sits atop New York City's Gramercy Park Hotel. Before [...]
