For a band I just barely heard about, Twin Shadow seems to be doing
pretty good for themselves. They have an album coming out on 4AD, a sexy porn video, and what seemed to be a packed house at Glasslands.
Like most people, the first song I’d heard by Twin Shadow was ‘Slow’.
I thought the song was pretty fantastic, and reminiscent of a great
80’s song. When I skimmed the rest of the album, though, I didn’t find
anything that really clicked with me. All that being said, on
September 11th I saw them at the previously mentioned venue, and they put on quite a show.

Actually my friend/ Photographer Adam Weinberg and I agreed that the
least enjoyable song the played live was ‘Slow’, and I think that’s
just because they played it really loud and we were too close to the
speaker.

My favorite performance of the night, and by everyone’s dancing I think theaudience agreed, was ‘At My Heels’. Wow this song certainly packed a punch. I think the only reason I missed this song on the album was because one of the first few lyrics in the song is “belly”, and that just didn’t sit right with me. Otherwise, all around, I think these guys are worth a viewing, and if you get the chance you won’t be dissapointed.

Songs to listen to: ‘Slow’ and ‘At My Heels’

Side note: Lots of ‘interesting’ bands opened for Twin Shadow. My Gold
Mask was probably my favorite for their energy. You can search the
rest by googling Twin Shadow at Glasslands.
