Twin Shadow - “Slow”
If you’re looking for proof that novelty and cutting-edge influences aren’t the only things driving the blogosphere, this song seems like a good place to start. In fact, one of the most interesting things about Twin Shadow is all the reactions from people (myself included) who thought that every possible point on the 80s new-wave -> Morrissey -> The Cure continuum had been played out and beat to death. It’s tough to pin down what makes “Slow” resonate and feel fresh—that’s why when I reviewed it I went into nit-picky details of the arrangement and ended up concluding that it comes down to a precarious balance of moods. That’s still the most satisfying answer I have for myself, short of conceding that there’s just an elusive ‘it’ that he’s got figured out.
