THIS. ON REPEAT.
So good, bit of a Department of Eagles moment when I twig that I like them and then discover there’s a Grizzly Bear connection.
“Slow” by Twin Shadow
This will sound like a terrible sentiment, but after having listened to Twin Shadow’s new album, Forget, I can’t help but classify the sound as “what Grizzly Bear would sound like if they were an 80s new wave band.” A modern new wave band might sound troubling, but I use the term for lack of a better word. There is something strikingly retro about the album, but I can’t place exactly what that may be. Perhaps it’s the bass, which is prominent and striking and unique, the sort of thing that I remember and cherish most about the albums I own that were released during that time period.
