We’ve waited 3 long years for music from the soulful synthpop Twin Shadow.
The album Caer is forthcoming.
Included is the song Saturdays with assistance from his friends HAIM.

Beth Orton
Endearing British singer/songwriter Beth Orton’s new album will be called Kidsticks.
“1973” has a bouncy melody as Twin Shadow provides the guitar.

Twin Shadow
Twin Shadow’s new album Eclipse is due shortly.
We loved “Five Seconds” from 2012’s Confess.
“Turn Me Up” is an early release from this soulful singer.
Twin Shadow
Twin Shadow is the pseudonym of George Lewis Jr.
Born in the Dominican Republic, he currently resides in Brooklyn with previous stops in Florida and Boston.
Confess is his second album inspired by an intense ride on his motorcycle, pushing the limit, after a previous accident in Boston.
“Five Seconds” from the album harkens back to the best of the New Wave.
Sharon Van Etten
Sharon Van Etten is appearing at Bonnaroo this weekend.
The music of this singer/songwriter from Brooklyn via Tennessee and New Jersey is included in a Spin free download of 20 Bonnaroo bands, along with the likes of My Morning Jacket, the Walkmen, Robert Plant and Twin Shadow.
The vulnerable beauty heard in “Don’t Do It” is from Van Etten’s 2010 album Epic.
