Top Ten Albums of 2012

Dec 26, 2012, 9:22pm A Has Been That Never Was

The year 2012 was supposed to bring about 'the end of the world'. But here we are compiling 'best of' lists as if it were 2011 or 2010 or any other year from when blogging started. For me it was a big year with my new job travelling to remote Australia, and some pretty crazy stuff happened out there. On Christmas Island the craziness was the wild chickens and many nervous crabs, along with the locals who choose to live somewhere both remote and expensive. There was Darwin, a beautiful developing city, with an odd aggressiveness to it which [...]

And her third foray is quite emotionally distinct, personal, powerful and heartfelt. Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields

Twin Shadow at Great American Music Hall – Win Tickets

Aug 16, 2012, 1:24am SFCritic: Music Blog

There's a reason why George Lewis Jr., aka Twin Shadow, will grace us with his presence in San Francisco not one, but two nights at the Great American Music Hall: this guy is just so badass. It's been about a month since Lewis dropped his explosive sophomore album, Confess . It's been just the right amount of time to digest the attitude in his lyrics and be seduced by his sound which Pitchfork dubbed as "Best New Music." And if you've been living under a rock all summer long and haven't experienced Twin Shadow, check out his video for [...]

Tonight in Music: Twin Shadow, Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives & Brainstorm

Aug 14, 2012, 5:16pm End Hits

TWIN SHADOW, POOLSIDE ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Brooklyn's George Lewis Jr. has made one of the most instantly enjoyable albums of 2012, especially if you came of musical age in the 1980s. Twin Shadow's second album, Confess , is composed of 10 perfectly wrought singles, one after the other—all the more impressive because Lewis produced it himself. He may not look like a geek, but he obviously is one. If you're one of those people who hears everything but the lyrics, you'd be forgiven for assuming Confess is a sexually aspirational/inspirational album: [...]

Cool and Hot: A Review of Twin Shadow, Confess

Jul 17, 2012, 7:07am Frontier Psychiatrist

Twin Shadow's 2010 debut Forget , slickly produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, was a dreamy melange of synth pop. The follow-up, Confess (now streaming on the Urban Outfitters website ) is no sophomore slump, but rather an extension of the new take on New Wave that worked so well on Forget . The first single "Five Seconds," a jittery love song with shifting synths, insistent drum beat, and George Lewis Jr.'s cool but passionate vocal is one of the best songs of the year, a buoyant redux of Angelo Badalamenti's [...]

Twin Shadow - Confess

Jul 16, 2012, 8:44am THE GIZZLE REVIEW

*sigh* Yet another 80's inspired album? With bands like M83 at the forefront of the 80's dream-pop revival and the excellent soundtrack to Drive already available, do we need more of this stuff? Yes. Yes we do - because 'Confess' is more than worthy of your time. It's the sophomore album from Twin Shadow, aka American musician George Lewis Jr, following a motorbike accident. The production of 'Confess' replicates the exhilaration of getting back on the road, chasing the sun down empty highways - [...]

Missed the Boat ::: Twin Shadow “Patient” video + tour dates

I definitely have slept on the new album from Twin Shadow titled "Confess" available via 4AD . I hate to make the obvious Prince references, but the guy wears his heart on his sleeve for everybody to see all the while creating luscious beats with emotive lyrics. Catch George Lewis Jr. on tour with Niki Dove providing support on his US tour. Twin Shadow-Five Seconds [mp3] Twin Shadow - Patient Twin Shadow - Five Seconds [...]

Melt! Festival 2012: Ten To See

Jul 11, 2012, 8:54am The Line Of Best Fit

Returning for its fifteenth year, Melt! Festival takes place in Gräfenhainichen's giant industrial crane museum. Surrounded by a vast fresh water lake and inhabited by truly unique structures, Ferropolis in Germany provides a breath taking space for an incredibly exntesive and collective line-up to do their thing. Taking place from 13-15 July the festival is completely sold out but for those lucky enough to have tickets already there will undoubtedly be some hard decisions to make so we thought we'd give our run down of this year's essential acts.

Lançamentos da semana: John Frusciante, Twin Shadow, Zac Brown Band e mais

Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan [Domino] O que melhor define o Dirty Projectors ? O cuidado com os arranjos, a graciosidade de suas melodias ou as vozes que cantam essas notas? Swing Lo Magellan é o disco que nos devolve a chance de entender a banda, depois de um aclamado  Bitte Orca (2009). E há quem diga que desta vez está mais fácil. Offspring Are Blank é uma bela introdução, lembrando do swing de Stillness Is The Move , até que a guitarra [...]

Twin Shadow: Confess

Jul 10, 2012, 3:06am PopMatters

George Lewis, Jr. sings to the cheap seats with aching abandon on Twin Shadow's sophomore album. He doesn't always make it, but his ultra-confident, high-gloss sincerity is more often than not pretty hard to resist anyway. George Lewis, Jr. is an honest man. He's been refreshingly upfront about his decision to grace his second album's cover -- "I'm a good-looking guy" -- as well as his adoration for his much-maligned home state of Florida, the superiority of Puerto Rican hairdressers, and his voracious appetite for drugs and women while on tour. His 2010 debut as Twin Shadow, Forget, followed [...]

Member's Only jacket not included. 4AD, 2012 9.4/ 10.0 Nostalgia is always a prickly proposition. While certainly, the best artists steal, too much over-borrowing can lead to a product with no soul, all artifice and no art. It takes a real talent to expand on the past. [...]
