George Lewis Jr, the brainchild behind the talented artist TWIN SHADOW is back with his recently released new single ‘Five Seconds’.
The song features in his forthcoming album, Confess, due out for a July 9 & July 10 release via label 4AD. TWIN SHADOW gave delighted fans insight to his inspiration behind the album on his Tumblr and it seems as if it has derived from a horrid accident.
“One winter I crashed my motorcycle , with a friend on the back. I shouldn’t have been riding that day, but I was young and fearless of the black roads, fast and easy in my ways. As the bike slipped from under us my head filled with words. The slow motion moments of calm just after surprise and just before regret are bliss. I remember in that moment I wanted to say everything to him. How could I say everything in a split second? How could I bury my words in his heart?”
Five Seconds is available for download here. Endless circling of lo-fi pop. Such bliss.
