Is that the "Take My Breath Away" bass synth sound or just something very, very close?

Huh. I loved the first one, but I'm really not feeling this (yet).
― Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Wednesday, 4 July 2012 06:27 (eleven years ago) link
felt the same way, but somehow I've wound up listening to it about 5 times today and it's really sticking to me now.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 4 July 2012 06:38 (eleven years ago) link
New album is great but takes a few listens. Loving 'Run My Heart'.

He was amazing last nite in London. Encored with a special 4 July medley of "American Girl" into "Star-Spangled Banner". The Forget stuff still felt stronger tho.

― Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Thursday, 5 July 2012 17:09 (eleven years ago) link
it doesn't sound that different from the last album aside from being better/more expansively produced, i'm curious why a couple of people said they were having trouble getting into it?
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 5 July 2012 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
just not catching my earholes the same way

This is pretty good. Hooks don't stand out like the ones on Forget.

I have never heard them, but I foud this of interest:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/positive-reception-for-twin-shadows-confess-shows-the-low-bar-in-indie-rock/2012/07/08/gJQAV2SvWW_story.html?wprss=rss_style
Chris Richards of the Washington Post:
The album itself couldn’t play it any safer, embarking on another dead-end expedition to the 1980s. It’s all retro-glassy textures outfitted with lyrics about love’s complexities sung by a young man whose ego seems to have replaced his heart.
It’s bad. But what makes Lewis’s music so interesting is how eagerly it has been embraced — it’s critical reception illustrates indie rock’s sexual double standard at work. Earlier this year, an online shouting match erupted around Lana Del Rey, a fast-climbing New York singer whose background was scrutinized as if she were running for office. When her first album, “Born to Die,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, the blogosphere chased its tail in a style-vs.-substance debate that is reserved almost exclusively for female artists. Could someone this attractive, this fashionable, this concerned with her image, this unapologetically ambitious, actually be “the real thing”?
New question. Will anyone bother to ask those same questions of Lewis? He’s an equally ambitious, equally good-looking guy who loves to talk about the depth of his ambition and the extent of his good-lookingness. He recently described his look to Spin as “James Dean in Bollywood in the late ’80s.” Other interviews make him look like a first-class narcissist in ways that are both amusing and sad.
But instead of putting him through the wringer, the blogeratti are pinning medals on Lewis’s chest. He’s being championed as a savvy, stylish bad boy for the same reasons Del Rey was dismissed as a fraud.
They’ve both made treacly albums that fail to communicate actual emotion, and “Confess” is the weaker of the two.

lol great headline, looks like something off the national security desk
― du. duplass. duplass mich. (goole), Monday, 9 July 2012 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
that might even remotely have a point of TS hadn't already released one really great & critically acclaimed album
― funny-skrillex-bee_132455836669.gif (s1ocki), Monday, 9 July 2012 16:19 (eleven years ago) link
Difference is I really like the new TS album and Lana Del Rey had two amazing tracks and a couple of okay ones and a bunch of duds, for me anyway. I don't care about LDR's aesthetics or persona, the same way I don't care about George Lewis'. His album isn't about being a motorcycle gang badboy from the 50s or whatever, so for me that doesn't enter into the quality of the songs.

Not as immediately catchy/hooky, but who knows, it might be a grower.

if you have spotify for example, or own the record
of course i don't have spotify wtf BUT YOUTUBE I'VE GOT YOUTUBE

Only skimmed it, but doesn't that Quietus review (like the Chris Richards one in the W. Post) not mention there was a previous Twin Shadow album?
― curmudgeon, Friday, 13 July 2012 15:13 (eleven years ago) link
Regarding that W.Post article, since when was indie-rock's raison d'être to provide rebel heroes? I really hate articles where an album/artist is criticized for mainly extramusical reasons. I thought the whole "real vs fake" dichotomy ended years ago, at least with music journalists.
I'm enjoying this much more than his debut. I found Forget mostly forgetful, which I thought I'd like based on his many positive reviews (80's-inspired music is my personal catnip).
― musicfanatic, Saturday, 14 July 2012 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
