Twin Library

Twin Library. A homemade hybrid of garage folk and creaking pop, using an array of devices which include echo boxes, delay pedals, soft distortion dynamics and acoustic guitars with buzzing strings. Voices and pianos whisper around in the drift, occasionally hitting tambourines.

“Lower Flag”. Twin Library. The album is Lowways.

Twin Library “Softer Bones” from the album Lowways

The first time we heard from Twin Library, it was as the result of a shared love of the music of Guided by Voices - and that’s enough to make me want to check out a band. Here’s a previous post I put up about them and their 2011 release No Summer/Shaking Hands.

This month, they have a new release, Lowways. By way of giving some incentive to check them out, they share a list of their music loves (and, perhaps, muses): Guided By Voices, Little Wings, The Velvet Underground, The Wedding Present, Ride, The Clean, Television Personalities, Robyn Hitchcock. That’s good enough for me. It should be for you, as well.

The Twin Library Group will be releasing the Lowways Album in February 2013.

Hating the Rolling Stones.

Letter

To the Rolling Stones,

Just wanted you to know, me and my friends with nearly the whole school, HATE you. Because you don’t look like men, you are nothing but ANIMALS, and smell like them too. We know also that you are DIRTY and STINK. You probably never have baths which is typical of English pigs like you. I hope that you hurry up and go away from clean Fiji, because we don’t want you here, you PIGS. We HATE HATE HATE you. I am speaking on behalf of 640 kids who all HATE you. So go and pick some pigsty in the slums of smelly England and have your MISERABLE holiday there. Your stupid road manager was upset about no-one greeting you, because we HATE you. Your road manager needs a POKE. If you dare to set foot in Suva, me and my friends will tell some of the MEN of Fiji (Suva), to come and SPIT on you, and go to the TOILET on you. Thats all your worth. So do what I said, and GET OUT, we HATE you.

“Edmonton’s TWIN LIBRARY never ceases to amaze us with the music he writes and produces and this time is no different with his latest effort Metropolis.
We’re really digging all the tracks on this one but if you’re looking for a starting point, we suggest you check out the opening track The Surgery Never Left.”

Woods - Size Meets The Sound
Find below “Size Meets The Sound”, the second single from Woods’ forthcoming Bend Beyond LP (here is the first), which they will release on their own label - Woodsist Records - in September 2012. 
Size Meets The Sound is the louder and the looser of the two, carrying forward Woods’ signature immediacy and slacking drum sound and combining them with a double-splicing lead line and equally confident and abrupt falsetto. The results are as blissful as they are shambolic.
