This is great, my favorite discovery so far from the poll results.

not too in to the silent-shout-style tracks on the back half of this record, but overall its def my favorite discovery from the EOY top 77 polls.
max already invoked bjork, which is what i hear the most-- specifically the lush floral stuff from "Post"

Newest song continues their penchant for slick grooves, although I guess they a different vocalist for this one?

saw them over the weekend at p4k and just wanna remind everyone to check them out if you haven't gotten around to it yet

"Color Your Life" from the Twin Sister days is one of my favorite pieces of music this decade. I guess they're not giving it away free anymore but it's very much worth whatever price they're asking.

Finally picked up 'In Heaven', the Twin Sister full length, today for £1 and am quite enjoying it. Will eventually get around to Mr Twin Sister.

"In Heaven" is very nice. Haven't heard the new one. Saw them in LA the other night and they were great!

new song rules
― ufo, Thursday, 28 June 2018 02:10 (five years ago) link
no one on earth has released an album as good as their 2014 s/t since imo
― flopson, Thursday, 28 June 2018 02:12 (five years ago) link
ooh
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 28 June 2018 03:21 (five years ago) link
SO good.
Not the most active band though, eh? What do they do in their non-MTS time that keeps them from releasing more fantastic music anyway?
― mr.raffles, Thursday, 28 June 2018 03:38 (five years ago) link
IIRC, Andrea announced a multiple sclerosis diagnosis prior to the album release in 2014.
― Roomba with an attitude (Sanpaku), Thursday, 28 June 2018 04:01 (five years ago) link
Oh! Had no idea about that!
They have way more great tracks than most bands even with sporadic deployment.
― mr.raffles, Thursday, 28 June 2018 04:06 (five years ago) link
"jaipur" is amazing wow
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 04:15 (five years ago) link
I have now this song on a loop for the last hour+ and it's just as good this time as it was the first.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 28 June 2018 04:31 (five years ago) link
A new album from them would be great.
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 28 June 2018 04:47 (five years ago) link
The new song is so gorgeous.
I sometimes forget just how special their last album was. One of those discoveries that makes me really grateful I post on here. For some strange reason I barely saw any buzz about it anywhere else.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 28 June 2018 04:58 (five years ago) link
their twitter does seem to suggest a new album is on the way which is very exciting
― ufo, Thursday, 28 June 2018 05:55 (five years ago) link
Still don't get why In the House of Yes wasn't some massive breakout hit - stunning, stunning track. Really excited for new stuff from them.
― hourofthestar, Thursday, 28 June 2018 11:03 (five years ago) link
new song is fantastic, been listening to that and the self-titled album for the past few hours. unbelievable that it's been nearly 4 years since it came out

mr twin sister me daddy
i cant for the life of me remember how i heard of this band or why i got into them
like it blew my mind when brad mentioned he'd heard about them from me (which is true as it turns out) because i'd assumed i'd heard about them from him
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 26 July 2018 22:07 (five years ago) link
i mean i got REALLY into them cuz they rule ass but i dont remember what first got my attention at all
They really are the best band alive
― joshywinty (josh), Thursday, 26 July 2018 23:09 (five years ago) link
If the whole album is even in the proximity of the quality of these two songs, it will be ilm royalty.

Sade really should have made a nu-disco comeback. I love these.

Have been listening to the last album a lot lately. Forgot just how great it is.

https://radio.mrtwinsister.com/
so according to their twitter they've been streaming all sorts of stuff here, including various unreleased tracks and demos etc.
really wanna hear the version of Out of the Dark with an uncleared sample that was mentioned but it doesn't seem like anyone's recorded the streams or anything
― ufo, Monday, 6 August 2018 10:43 (five years ago) link

Keep trying to get into these people but failing. Hoping for Sade but just getting Ivy vibes from them.

Friday May 12, 2023 at 8pmMr Twin Sister at The David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, NYCFree to enter until at capacity, Arrive at least 1/2 hour early for your best chance to get in!Seating and entry are first-come, first-served; the line will form at the Atrium’s entrance on Broadway, between 62nd and 63rd Street. Brooklyn-based indie pop band Mr Twin Sister have headlined sets at Elsewhere, Warsaw, and Bowery Ballroom. The group's Lincoln Center debut reimagines the space as an exclusive rock club, minus the cover. Mr Twin Sister's early EPs announced the band's signature brand of musically omnivorous dreamy disco, but they first gained international recognition when Kendrick Lamar sampled their single "Meet the Frownies" for his breakout hit "The Recipe." Four albums later, the quartet has established themselves as among the scene's most respected and influential institutions. Pitchfork said Mr Twin Sister's latest release, 2022's Upright and Even, "exists to be danced to... each song is self aware, mature and sexy." Bring a partner or find one at the Atrium for a night of ecstasy.
