“Twin Sister are a Brooklyn-by-way-of-Long Island quintet that does so much so well. Their songs have a remarkable sense of atmosphere and romanticism. They nod at their heroes—maybe Stereolab and Bjork, maybe Cocteau Twins or 1980s pop—without overtly stealing. They seem to know they are capable of great things.” —Pitchfork

2011-RELEASES
Twin Sister’s hypnotic pop is the kind dreamt of since Galaxie 500 fizzled, cut with Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac thump and a shot of Lynchian weirdness for good measure. They’re slack yet focused, a spark in the dark distance on a desert highway where speed is relative. Formed in Long Island two years ago, the band has wooed fans and critics alike, with (multiple!) glowing write-ups in Pitchfork, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Fader and dozens more, all on the strength of their debut EP Vampires With Dreaming Kids, originally given away digitally for free on their website.
Now available for the first time on vinyl in North America, Vampires With Dreaming Kids comes with a complete alternate version. Like the original, it was recorded ragtag, in drifting parallax—a beginning blurred in a mirror. This is the definitive document of that origin, when a wholly unique sound emerged.
