Twin Shadow (George Lewis Jr. If You're Nasty)
yep, this guy. if someone from Grizzly Bear is involved in something i'm usually fairly interested. Grizzly's bass player (and resident moon faced super white dude who kind of creeps me out in that one exploding head video) Chris Taylor, who co founded Terrible Records, produced Twin Shadow's first album "Forget". In addition to my affinity for all things Grizzly (and grisly) I've been exploring further reaches of music I sometimes gloss over or don't listen to enough. I'm sure there's a Nick Ahloe out there with a canon packed full of snarky bits about "hipster bullshit" but oh well. Sometimes I just want to listen to a guy from the Dominican Republic with a Little Richard approved hairstyle serve up some chilled out 80's vibes. Twin Shadow is definitely music for long car rides and sweaty summer nights. Check out his website and watch a video here . ALSO! Just watched this video from the deliciously poppy locals Hidden Pictures...
