George Lewis Jr. is Twin Shadow.  A Brooklyn-based one man band that only takes one listen to realize he stands head and shoulders over the masses of ambient bedroom rockers that seem to have taken over the music scene.  His sound can be described as your favorite 80′s synthpop group’s greatest hits.  On the latest single “Slow” from his upcoming full length debut Lewis utilizes echoing guitars, reverb-laden drums, a grimy bass riff, and distorted guitars to build a cavernous adventure into a tortured soul.  Twin Shadow’s Morrissey style crooning draws the listener in leading up to the “so-trite-it’s-amazing” chorus where we hear the singer pleading “I don’t wanna / believe / believe / in love” as if trying to convince himself.

The album Forget is due out October 19th on Terrible Records and produced by Chris Taylor (of Grizzly Bear) and can be pre-ordered HERE.  Listen and download the single “Slow” below.
