Twin Shadow is probably the most successful of the vanguard of 80's revivalists out there these days: managing to build nostalgia for times that never existed via sounds that never quite actually have ever been made.
Even more so than on his debut, George Lewis weaves sounds that shimmer and beat and waver like nights come to life. The desperation and resignation evoke a real person behind the worlds and bristle with hope.There's a lynchian knack for seeming simultaneously familiar and uncanny, both for reasons that you can't quite grasp, in ways you're not even quite aware of. Suddenly you wake as if from a dream. This is never more true than on I Don't Care, which spins a staggering hallucination of a tale. I don't have much use for this particular angle, for this particular sound, but its the kind of album that will be some peoples favorite, like, ever, even if just for a month or two 3.5/5
