Forget

Twin Shadow is the nom de plume of Dominican-born George Lewis Jr. The troubled son of a hairdresser and a "teacher who lived many lives" (semi-professional footballer, massage therapist, film maker) his formative years were spent in suburban Florida. Later, George escaped the palm trees and travelled north to New York, where the long and slow gestation of 'Forget' took place over a series of many months in his Brooklyn apartment...

His efforts impressed Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, who not only lent his skills to co-produce the record but also offered to release 'Forget' on his newly established label Terrible Records in the U.S.

On this debut Twin Shadow offers a panoramic view of a musical landscape that spans decades, veering from the full-throttle power ballad "Slow" to the shimmering Niles Rodgers-tinged disco of "At My Heels" and the new wave synthesized breaks of "Castles in the Snow".

Describing 'Fever' George says, "It's bedroom music, but it's been done with the same attention as many classic B-movies. It's not like a slapdash home video though; it's someone operating with very little at 100-percent of their ability. I can say without shyness 'Forget' was and is a product of the hardest work I've ever put into anything."

"With a steady gaze fixed on the 1980s, Twin Shadow cherry-picks key elements from the last four decades of popular music and compresses them into something that will likely sound exciting for as long as people continue to listen to music."

"Do believe the hype. 'Forget' is a near-flawless album and certainly one of the most impressive debuts we've ever seen."
