Twin Shadow is the latest act to record for the 4AD Sessions series. Filmed at Teddington Studios at the back end of 2010, the session airs ahead of the band's debut European tour and gives fans a real insight into the band's live set up following the release of debut album, Forget, last year. While Twin Shadow has long been seen as the work of lead singer George Lewis Jr., the four session tracks show a tightly wound and musically astute four piece, effortlessly playing off one another. 'Slow' and future single, 'Castles In The Snow', both highlight the urgency that drives their live performances, while the version of 'Forget' pushes George's guitar playing to the fore, revealing an epic, almost stadium-like quality to the band not necessarily evident on record. More importantly, the session confirms that Twin Shadow are a formidable live proposition, leaning on classic rock and new wave signifiers, but able to channel their own unique charm and allure. Twin Shadow have recently confirmed a series of tour dates, taking in shows on both sides of the Atlantic. Gigs in America in January are followed by the band's first UK tour, culminating in an NME Awards show with Warpaint at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. Following this, the band travel across the US in support of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

Twin Shadow - For Now from the Album - Forget (2010), Twin Shadow - For Now

I Do Not Own The Rights To This Music. Lisenced To Terrible Records.

YouTube.com Twin Shadow's debut album Forget topped a lot of 2010 best-of lists (including our own), but the group's live set on our Hill Stage midday on Thursday took their music to a whole new level, as the trio's dynamic stage presence whipped the capacity crowd into a frenzy. George Lewis, Jr. and his band emanate an intense rock-star magnetism, and their sexy, intimate songs were blown up to massive proportions, without losing any of the vivid detail and personality that make this young band so special.
