Twin Sister- "Gene Ciampi"

Last year, just like many on the blogosphere, I was pretty impressed with the tracks Twin Sister was putting out on the net via the EP Color Your Life.

When the band's buzz became too big to ignore, Domino Recs signed 'em, and now we've got a full-length on the way titled In Heaven. A track dropped from it two months ago, but it's this song, "Gene Campi," that's got me looking forward to the eventual release.

On this track, Twin Sister displays the kind of oddball quirks that I look for in my pop music. The twanged guitar leads and whimsical melodica melodies are a nice addition to the band's already solid foundation of vocals, drums, and bass. It's cute, but not too cute. It's simple, but not too simple. It's strange, but not too strange. Look for this LP's relase on Sept. 27th.

Domino Records recently released a 7'' of my favorite Twin Sister song: "All Around and Away We Go," and this video is a pretty awesome way of promoting it, too. We're going a little 80s on this one, guys. -

Twin Sister- "All Around and Away We Go" | STREAM

This past week, I've heard a lotta pop from a lotta places. I don't even remember half the bands or half the blogs, but this particular group stayed latched to the back of my mind for a lot of reasons.

On "Twin Sister," the NY outfit Twin Sister creates an atmosphere laced with elements of synth pop and post-disco. It's a cool, calm track, but grooves like hell. Of course, the most distinct element of this band are the vocals, which have a really odd cadence to them that somehow works. Give a listen, and grab Twin Sister's new LP Color Your Life via their Bandcamp:

What do you think of this track: impressed or not to impressed? Did the vocals weird you out? This track was a little noisy toward the end, eh? Did images of the Bee Gees play in your head when you heard this?
