Twin Sister have just announced their first UK live shows for November. The hypnotic, blogosphere favourites from Long Island will perform at the Brighton Albert, Leeds Brudenell and at the Lexington in London on November 25th.
The US five-piece will tour the UK as follows:
Tuesday 23rd November: Brighton Albert
Wednesday 24th November: Leeds Brudenell
Thursday 25th November: London Lexington
Twin Sister’s debut EP, Vampires With Dreaming Kids, and its follow up EP, Color Your Life, will both be released in the UK on 6th September 2010 on double CD and 2 x vinyl Gatefold. This is the first physical release of their debut and the first ever UK release of Color Your Life.
Twin Sister create the kind of hypnotic pop you've been dreaming about since Galaxie 500 fizzled, cut with Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac thump, and a shot of Lynchian weirdness for good measure. They're slack yet focused, a spark in the dark distance on a desert highway where speed is relative. Formed in Long Island two years ago, the band have lately been wooing fans and critics alike, with glowing (multiple!) write ups in Pitchfork, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Fader, and dozens more, all on the strength of a debut given away digitally free on their website (link).
