Twin Shadow recently asked himself…”What if “Birds of a Feather” had a winter treatment?”
The end result is a cozy retro version, which is a combination of pulsing, fresh synthesizer lines, with deep and affecting vocals. The introductory drumbeat is quick-paced and upbeat. Then guitars enter: strummy and enlivening. The double hit of the kick drum combines with the snowflake glitter of the chimes—the instrumentation results in an unexpected musical synergy.
The artist recently told Stereogum in a short interview, “When I practice production I often take great songs and see how I would have produced them in my studio. What if the song was TwnShdwd? – well it would sound like this. Something to ski to this winter season. Enjoy while you wait for more.” Then he coyly asked… “You think B would like (it)?”
Twin Shadow’s newest album, Georgie will be out this upcoming March.
