Biography [edit]

Early on life and career beginnings (1983–2009) [edit]

Lewis was born March thirty, 1983[four] in the Dominican Commonwealth and raised in Florida. Lewis'south first exposure to music started by singing in his church building choir.

Around 2000, he moved to Boston and started the band Mad Man Films alongside Joseph Ciampini (drums) (of Hooray For Earth) and Zak Longo (bass) of Before Lazers. Mad Human Films released 2 records independently. In 2006, not satisfied with recording music for theatre and films, Lewis moved to Brooklyn, NY, and started the Twin Shadow project.[1]

Forget (2010–2011) [edit]

Lewis' debut anthology, Forget, was released November 15, 2010 on Terrible Records. The album was produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Comport.[5]

Forget received critical acclamation, appearing on numerous "album of the yr" lists including Pitchfork (#26)[6] and Stereogum (#32).[7] [viii] It has been described equally "steeped in 1980s new moving ridge",[ii] "building from streaks of haunting synth textures",[9] having "sophisticated melodies", "R&B intimacy", and "poetic lyrics",[10] and "hazily new wave-tinged pop".[11] Twin Shadow was the Rolling Stone Band of the Week on Oct seven, 2010.[12]

Confess (2012–2013) [edit]

Twin Shadow at Lincoln Hall in Chicago, Baronial 5, 2012

On July 10, 2012, Lewis released his follow-upward album, Confess, which he produced himself.[13] Lewis gained inspiration for the album later on being involved in a motorcycle accident in Boston.[13] Two of the album'southward songs, "V Seconds" and "Patient", were transformed into a music video saga which drew inspiration from Lewis'south novel Dark of the Silvery Sun.[fourteen] The A.5. Club described the anthology as "filled with Morrissey-esque yelps and Man League-worthy choruses, [...] Twin Shadow manages to digest his influences rather than simply replicate them. Confess retains the humid fog that saturated Forget, just the instrumentation is brighter, louder, and sharper. Synthesizers punch through the atmosphere, and Lewis' exquisite croon floats above it all."[15]

The album debuted on Billboard 200 at No. 54, and on the Height Stone Albums chart at No. 18. The album has sold 30,000 copies in the US every bit of March 2015.[16]

Eclipse and Night Rally (2014–2016) [edit]

After criticising his own piece of work for being too elitist,[17] Lewis set out to create a more outgoing album, Eclipse,[18] his first with a major record label, Warner Music. Carl Wilson of Billboard Mag notes that Twin Shadow has left behind much of his "foggy layers of synths and drum machines" reminiscent of the likes of Depeche Mode and Simple Minds in favor of a more gimmicky sound.[17]

Eclipse is also noted for Lewis' almost complete departure from guitar playing, a witting decision according to a Pitchfork interview in January 2015.[19]

In March 2015, NPR exclusively streamed the anthology and Twin Shadow was live in session at KCRW on their "Morning Becomes Eclectic" segment.

"To the Acme", a song from Eclipse, was featured in the trailer for the film Newspaper Towns, produced past the same team as The Fault in Our Stars and starring Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff.[22]

On Apr 17, 2015, Twin Shadow and his band and coiffure were involved in a tour motorbus crash.[23] Both driver John Crawford and drummer Andy Bauer were hospitalized and in serious status. Lewis underwent reconstructive paw surgery following the accident.[24]

On July 28, 2015, Twin Shadow released the Night Rally mixtape for costless online, in conjunction with the announcement of the Night Rally Tour.[25] Due to Bauer's severe injuries from the April autobus crash, the band retooled the songs in the alive set, with samples and a pulsate machine to keep fourth dimension. Twin Shadow departed on their Night Rally Tour in Baronial 2015 through the U.s.a. and Canada, and opened a portion of the Fall 2015 Death Cab for Cutie United States tour.[26] Dark Rally consists of recordings from 2010 to 2014. During his healing time in Los Angeles following the bus crash, Lewis began to comb through one-time hard drives. He left a message under the mixtape on SoundCloud, expressing how his discovery gave him a glimpse into the past v years:

The more I dug the more than I realized how much music was made in the last 5 years. Being habitation I had the fourth dimension and perspective to enjoy all the little impulses, embarrassing choices, and exciting moments that I couldn't bottle. There were also some songs that I couldn't understand why I never finished."[27]
