Mr Twin Sister

i love this record so much and it really should've been no. 1 on my ballot

it has this really wonderful dual quality of being smoky and precise, dreamy and present

yeah it's one of the best things to happen ever. still remember the feeling hearing 'in the house of yes' for the first time, when the disco strings came in.

This is great, my favorite discovery so far from the poll results.

not too in to the silent-shout-style tracks on the back half of this record, but overall its def my favorite discovery from the EOY top 77 polls.

max already invoked bjork, which is what i hear the most-- specifically the lush floral stuff from "Post"

this is my favorite discovery from the albums poll too

first 2 tracks are perfect

wow @ this

i forgot she dropped nbombs smh sorry

that sentiment, tho

Newest song continues their penchant for slick grooves, although I guess they a different vocalist for this one?

That's really nice.

saw them over the weekend at p4k and just wanna remind everyone to check them out if you haven't gotten around to it yet

"Color Your Life" from the Twin Sister days is one of my favorite pieces of music this decade. I guess they're not giving it away free anymore but it's very much worth whatever price they're asking.

Finally picked up 'In Heaven', the Twin Sister full length, today for £1 and am quite enjoying it. Will eventually get around to Mr Twin Sister.

"In Heaven" is very nice. Haven't heard the new one. Saw them in LA the other night and they were great!

listening to this record again and it's absolute magic, so fully realized, every detail wondrous and spectacular, god it's great

new song rules

no one on earth has released an album as good as their 2014 s/t since imo

ooh

SO good.

Not the most active band though, eh?
What do they do in their non-MTS time that keeps them from releasing more fantastic music anyway?

IIRC, Andrea announced a multiple sclerosis diagnosis prior to the album release in 2014.

Oh! Had no idea about that!

They have way more great tracks than most bands even with sporadic deployment.

"jaipur" is amazing wow

I have now this song on a loop for the last hour+ and it's just as good this time as it was the first.

A new album from them would be great.

The new song is so gorgeous.

I sometimes forget just how special their last album was. One of those discoveries that makes me really grateful I post on here. For some strange reason I barely saw any buzz about it anywhere else.

their twitter does seem to suggest a new album is on the way which is very exciting

Still don't get why In the House of Yes wasn't some massive breakout hit - stunning, stunning track. Really excited for new stuff from them.

new song is fantastic, been listening to that and the self-titled album for the past few hours. unbelievable that it's been nearly 4 years since it came out

prob best song of the year,so far

new track

how is this band so good

love this band so much

mr twin sister me daddy

i cant for the life of me remember how i heard of this band or why i got into them

like it blew my mind when brad mentioned he'd heard about them from me (which is true as it turns out) because i'd assumed i'd heard about them from him

i mean i got REALLY into them cuz they rule ass but i dont remember what first got my attention at all

They really are the best band alive

If the whole album is even in the proximity of the quality of these two songs, it will be ilm royalty.

this is the best band that has ever existed

Sade really should have made a nu-disco comeback. I love these.

Have been listening to the last album a lot lately. Forgot just how great it is.

https://radio.mrtwinsister.com/

so according to their twitter they've been streaming all sorts of stuff here, including various unreleased tracks and demos etc.

really wanna hear the version of Out of the Dark with an uncleared sample that was mentioned but it doesn't seem like anyone's recorded the streams or anything

we just streamed the record on https://t.co/0KPQxnXqmk but there were no listeners, sorry folks

:O

Keep trying to get into these people but failing. Hoping for Sade but just getting Ivy vibes from them.

I had a feeling they were gonna do this

best thing here is "working title (medford version)"

anyone know what's up with them? no live shows or new music in some time, and they are so great live.

i was really into their 2008-11 run and then again from Salt onward but somehow never got to the s/t, guess now's a good time

They are truly a national treasure and anything new or archival is great to have. I last saw them in Seattle in maybe 2017 and they were unreal. My completely unfounded guess it that Andrea’s MS battle limits their band functions.

i have yet to test this out but i feel like the s/t may be the best album to have sex to

daang lucky you

the 2011 Twin Sister LP is their only misfire imo (though Bad Street is good)

the extended "sensitive," omg

under normal circumstances i would hate calling anything "peak music," but... peak music

appreciate how live-feeling these expanded outtakes are

i am a woman
but inside i'm a man
and i want to be as gay as i can
