#195 Twin Shadow - Forget

Saw a video of his that piqued my interest, and then he got a good Pitchfork review, so let's check it out.

This is kind of a cool album. Its all a bit discoey, kind of 80's revival, kind of mysterious, kind of catchy, kind of timeless, with its beats, harmonies and cushioney production. Its a hard one to pin down. The easiest reference point is Hot Chip, and it captures their mix of casiotone beats, slithery synths, and layered sentimental sentiments. I found it haunting, sensual and catchy at turns, keeping me on my toes every time I thought I had it figured out. Which is rad, and good enough for a 4/5
