Twin Sister – In Heaven

Twin Sister – In Heaven

In Heaven (Domino) is a good, fun, unhurried ride through the neighborhood of a band from Long Island that took their vision to Brooklyn and developed a following and released one well-received EP, Vampires, with Dreaming Kids in 2008 before their first full-length debut.



Andrea Estrella has the ethereal vocals and the flexibility to shift from siren song into popville without it being jarring. In “Kimmi In A Rice Field,” she exhibits  the transcendent psychedelic floataway cool of Debbie Harry. Flecked with Asian influences, this rack is nicely trancy and outerspacy,  but at times  it’s unevenly leveled and your ear may need to scramble to find its footing. “Bad Street” is a pulsing danceable  and saucy groove, twangy and out there. Gwen Stefani and No Doubt come to mind here.

“Daniel” has a charming bossa-nova “Girl From Ipanema” feel to it. It blends well  into the background of your daily life and tasks but if you focus on it you’ll still recognize its merits. The cool, comfortable breeziness of it expands Twin Sister’s sound beyond the defining confines of “indie” or chillwave even though those elements are undeniably present. ”Spain”  juxtaposes Doors-esque electronic touches but Estrella’s lyrics come across muddied almost as if she were speaking in tongues which may well be the desired effect.

The band definitely enjoys experimenting with the genre switchoff, creating an effect something like playing the first few notes of multiple songs in a consecutive block. “Saturday Sunday” shifts into upbeat poppy single mode and it’s a much-needed varietal injection into the bloodstream of the album with its punk pop new-wave mashup. The lineup change-up continues with ”Stop,” a surprising foray into mellow jazzy soul.  ”Gene Ciampi” has the swingy island-breeze calypso sound that Blondie captured so deftly. Twin Sister’s easy playfulness,  rather than music to worry by, is music to escape worry by.

The Latest: Sleigh Bells – “Comeback Kid”

The Latest: Sleigh Bells – “Comeback Kid”

Sleigh Bells are back– are you listening? With a brand new, sophomore album single that’s as good as the abrasively catchy “Comeback Kid,” you should be. The Brooklyn duo’s 2010 debut LP, Treats, instantly crowned them with the title of major buzz band; it’s a tough act to follow for the soon-to-be released Reign of Terror. If “Comeback Kid” is any indication, though, Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss are sticking to what they do best: hardcore, floor-shaking beats, riffs that pulse like machine guns, and an energetic, badass attitude all juxtaposed with the high, delicate innocence of Krauss’ singing voice. Fighting off any notions of a slump, “Comeback Kid” plows through with guns positively blazing. Don’t call it a comeback– Sleigh Bells are here to stay.

The Latest: Goldroom – “Angeles”

The Latest: Goldroom – “Angeles”

It’s the middle of winter, but with all the warm weather in New York, it’s starting to feel like summer’s just around the corner. For those of you who can’t wait for the real thing, I present to you “Angeles” from Goldroom. This song is like a good bowl of chili. The synths will warm you up, and the comfortable bass groove will keep you full. It’s relaxed without being lethargic, and has just enough pop to make you smile.  The vocals have distinct reverb effets applied to them, while keeping its sense of melodic clarity.  In short, this track will make you feel good.
