Twin Shadow - Slow (Van Rivers Remix) Twin Shadow a.k.a. George Lewis Jr. Lewis, is a Dominican artist from Brooklyn who has done quite well for himself lately. In 2010, Lewis released his debut album Forget , produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear. The album has has gone on to receive rave reviews from music critics and has been described as “steeped in 1980s new wave”, “building from streaks of haunting synth textures” and “hazily new wave-tinged pop”. Needless to say, I like Twin Shadow a lot. He's probably one [...]
Last year's huge story get taken on by one of this year's, as The Drums' latest track "Me & The Moon" gets a totally-80's, sometimes-sending-shouts-to-Ha ll & Oates edit from Twin Shadow. George Lewis, Jr. brands himself using all sorts of New Wave influences in his own music, so it's no wonder that he would ditch [...]
"I can't come up with any reason why a ghost is following me." Photo Credit (my dear friend) Doyle BleyHappy December Everyone. Unfortunately, school/homework has become my new hobby for the time being. It’s frustrating because now I have all these cool new site features, yet no time to post. I know many of you are in the same boat, so with my 5 extra minutes of time today (literally), here's
Click here to view the embedded video. Where do i start with the pompadour bearing musical being George Lewis Jr. Aka Twin Shadow Born In Dominican Republic, Now Based In Brooklyn New York, the purity in these tracks is undeniable. These dream pop serenades are a breath of fresh air straight from the 80s. Kind of a cross between Morrissey and the nu shoegaze acts How To Dress Well or Glasser . Brilliant guitar rifts carrying along the crooning of Lewis' silk voice, these [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: New Order, The Smiths, Solar Bears "Violens - Acid Reign " What's so good? Channeling the brooding vibe and distinctive reverberation of 1980s music culture can be a hit or miss when it comes to bands these days. Gaining value in a genre of opinionated predecessors can be intimidating and very problematic if not done correctly. Being able to fully embrace and understand how dance music, synthesizers, and drum machines [...]
A stunning, neurotic account of being out of love and needing it more than anything else. George Lewis, in Forget , announces himself as quite the talent. —————————— —————————— —— A quote from our review : “George Lewis Jr. might not dress or act like a novelist or a poet, but he’s as emotionally in-tune as the best of them.” —————————— —————————— —— What the others are saying: BBC , Alex Tudor: “a magnificently accomplished debut.” Pop Matters , Daniel Tebo: “it’s a near-flawless album and certainly [...]
La 4AD una delle etichette a cui siamo più affezzionati torna con due dischi che sono pronti a riscaldare il nostro novembre. E' già uscito il disco dei B roken Records "Let Me Come Over" che offre paesaggi di rock malinconico pronti a specchiari nei migliori The Dears e Arcade Fire. Annunciato per il 16 novembre invece "Forget" dei Twin Shadow . Si tratta di un progetto musicale di George Lewis Jr. che rimanda ad un immaginario new wave (si la prima 4AD!). Per noi gli undici pezzi di questo lavorano entrano [...]
No sé si muchos de ustedes ya conozcan a George Lewis Jr. alias Twin Shadow , un artista proveniente de Brooklyn que nos transmite a los 80's no sólo con su música sino también con su look , el cual experimenta cambios dramáticos día a día... (soy yo o a ustedes también les recuerda a Pedro de "Napoleon Dynamite"?) Twin Shadow nos presentó su disco debut titulado "Forget" hace no mucho y parece ser que promete ser todo un éxito gracias a la producción realizada por Chris Taylor (bajista de Grizzly Bear) a través de su productora Terrible Records . Es cierto que podemos [...]
The Drums released this video almost a week ago and we didn't talk about it. Now Twin Shadow did a remix, so we had to turn the spotlight to these guys again. That's what you get when good meets good: better. Os The Drums lançaram este vídeo há uma semana quase e nós não falámos dele. Agora, os Twin Shadow fizeram um remix, por isso tivémos de virar o foco para eles de novo. Isto é o que têm quando o bom conhece outro bom: melhor. [...]
Twin Shadow - “Castles in the Snow” Sounds like: 80’s new wave Yeasayer Pitchfork recently rated Twin Shadow’s new album Forget as “Best New Music”. I’m not sure if I really agree, but this song is pretty infectious nonetheless. - Juan
If Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear is working on a album as a producer, you can normally expect a very good one, if not even a little masterpiece. And it really seems like he couldn't do anything wrong. This time he had the control over George Lewis Jr., better known as Twin Shadow , to produce his debut record Forget. Forget is not only a good record, but also another reason why 2010 is a great year in music, especially for that kind of music you can't just describe its genre. [...]
Twin Shadow es George Lewis Jr., un tipo bastante excéntrico de Brooklyn que además de tener una extraña fijación por los coches, sonidos y hairstyles vintage , es todo un verdadero crooner a lo 80's Pop . Recientemente lanzó su álbum debut " Forget " de manera independiente por el increíble precio de un dólar a través de su sitio web . Si eres fan de Ed Banger , entonces cabe mencionar que, Lewis trabajó junto con Mickey Moonlight en un par de tracks del disco, así que sin duda vale [...]
