Twin Shadow - Forget
Mini review
If you google ‘Twin Shadow chillwave’, there seems to be quite a debate raging across the internets as to whether Twin Shadow belong in that classification or not. So, do they? Well... Oh, who gives a monkey’s? Forget is simply a brilliant debut, regardless of genre. Knowing nods aplenty to a range of ‘80s sounds underpin a record that’s driven by surging melodies as opposed to hazy atmospherics. The ‘singing basslines’ of Young Marble Giants (that so inspired The xx on their own debut from last year) are a key influence, informing many of the highlights here. Leave the blog geeks to their micro-genre pigeonholing and luxuriate in these brilliant songs.
