I've been listening to Twin Sister's Color Your Life almost exclusively over the past week or so. It's a dreamy and sometimes spooky masterpiece that grows more intriguing with each listen. The vocals have a nice Nico quality and float above a solid foundation provided by the rhythm section. Opener The Other Side of Your Face is allowed to stretch out to 7+ minutes, and not a second is wasted. Over the next 5 songs, Twin Sister visits more pop landscapes, always keeping their sound slightly off-kilter. The track that hooked me in the first place is All Around and Away We Go. It's really apparent within the first ten seconds how great the song is going to be. Check it out:
The entire 6-song EP is available for free download on their website or here. Consider picking up a copy on vinyl when it's released on May 25.
the best part about a great writer, is that you get to see the world from his or her point of view. understanding music from your point of view is fantastic!
ReplyDeletei look forward to really getting into these songs in 2-5 years.
