Twin Shadow is the stage name of American musician George Lewis Jr. Lewis was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Florida, before eventually relocating to Brooklyn and adopting the Twin Shadow moniker.
In 2010 he released his debut album Forget, produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear. The album has been described as “steeped in 1980s new wave”, “building from streaks of haunting synth textures” and “hazily new wave-tinged pop”. Twin Shadow was the Rolling Stone ‘Band of the Week’ on October 7, 2010.
On May 1st, 2012, Twin Shadow announced the release of his sophomore album "Confess" out on 4AD July 1. He'll follow up 2010's excellent record Forget with Confess, out on 4AD July 10 in the U.S. and July 9 in the UK. In a press release, he says the new album was inspired by motorcycle rides he took in Los Angeles after a long hiatus following an accident.
