Twin Shadow, otherwise known as enigmatic frontman George Lewis Jr., came onto the scene in 2010 with his debut "Forget". Coated in Morrissey-worthy earnesty and textural new wave synths, Lewis established himself as the soft-crooner for the broken-hearted. His follow-up (2012's "Confess") forged onward through his previous patchworked laptop opuses toward a more cohesive pop-centric full-band execution. At its strongest moments, "Confess" conjures nostalgia for cheeky 80's radio darlings and new wave leanings- so much so that you'd swear you were listening to a cover band. Which is what makes his latest offering so seductive.
"Eclipse", Twin Shadow's major label-debut is strikingly more contemporary than it's predecessors- embracing the vintage-tinged melodies and retrofitting the production without losing any of its aesthetic. Boasting confident (and occasionally anthemic) choruses and Lewis' patented bedroom-eyed hooks, the album is arguably the group's strongest and most accessible album.
