Artist News Releases
Twin Shadow announces new album, releases Haim collaboration
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 1 March 2018
Twin Shadow has announced that he will release his fourth album, ‘Caer’, on 27 Apr. Accompanying the news, he’s released two new tracks, one of which features Haim. The album’s title is taken from the Spanish word meaning ‘to fall’, which he says references observations both of himself personally and the wider world currently.
“Sometimes I feel like I have to take a fall to essentially get to the next phase of my life”, says the musician of the album. “It’s happened over and over. I’ve been through so many musical phases and through so many relationships with friends and lovers. I always feel like I’m standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down and thinking, ‘this is the only way forward: onto the next thing’. It’s sort of destructive, but I guess I thrive on rebirth”.
“The patriarchy is falling apart”, he goes on. “Our perceptions of who we are as human beings, because of technology and machines, are falling apart. We’re living at a breaking point, and a lot of the themes on the album are talking about these fault lines”.
Of his Haim collaboration, ‘Saturdays’, he adds: “It’s a love song. ‘Saturdays’ is the heaven place you go to when you’re in love or even with friends, feeling your youth. But it’s also about my feeling that the world is starting to tear itself apart and maybe we’re falling through the cracks. But when you’re lying in bed next to someone you care about, none of that seems real”.
