Hooray for Earth vs. Twin Shadow: A Place We Like

Hooray for Earth vs. Twin Shadow: A Place We Like

We've written quite a bit about Twin Shadow, who recently released his fantastic album, Forget. Here we find George Lewis Jr. teaming up Hooray for Earth to create arguably one of the most catchy pop songs of 2010. Both artists are embracing the 80's renaissance that has been sweeping the indie rock scene over the past year and a half; but it is the soaring v-for-victory melodies that are setting them apart. Feast on this jam, get your hands on Twin Shadow's debut, and look forward to a full length from Hooray for Earth in 2011.

Cuddle Up With: Twin Shadow

Cuddle Up With: Twin Shadow

Its not like I meant to get into the 80's. It just sort of snuck up on me, like everything else these days. Lightening fast fads suddenly appearing on me ipod - its not even ironic anymore, I just like it because I like it.

Twin Shadow writes great music. Thats all that really matters in the end. He writes catchy songs. Its sort of a wonder that his debut album is called Forget, when all he seems to be doing is remembering. I mean, the guy's name is George Lewis Jr. Give me a break.

The name comes out of a lot of different things, I am in fact a twin, but it had less to do with that and more to do with motorcycles and stuff. You know, twin engines, first bike I ever wanted was a Honda Shadow, which is a pretty awful bike in my opinion these days, but it was the first bike I ever wanted. It just has a lot to do with always feeling like there's two sides or one side with another part of me offset from that side. It's about what the relationship is with that other part of myself. So kind of like a combination of motorcycle imagery, and coming into this new type of music.

Honestly, what the hell is he talking about?

Forget is produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and is being released September 28th on his rookie record label, Terrible Records. Highly Recommended.
