We've had a rash of thefts in the world of Twin Sister over the last couple of months.  After our show in Philadelphia, somebody broke into my sister's car in Bushwick and stole half of our equipment.  Luckily, none of it was irreplaceable, and they didn't grab Eric's father's beautiful Silvertone guitar.  

Then, last night, somebody stole my digital recorder that I was using to record our set.  So, as a eulogy of sorts, I'm posting the last recording we made with it.  It's an idea that we wrote during practice on Sunday, and we're all pretty excited to get some vocals written for it.  Initially, we weren't going to post this recording, since it's very much still a work in progress, but in light of recent events, I figured what the hell.

Here's a little mix called 'International Dust.' Listen close for tidbits of unreleased Twin Sister ambiance between songs.

It also features tracks by two of our favorite people, Joe Meek (pictured above) and John K.

Here is Bryan, Jonny, and Joe in Austin, Texas about two years ago. I'll post more another time.

New song we've been tossin' round. Needs some chiseling, some Dev, Gabe, and Andrea.

PS: Excuse the Garageband reverb, I forgot it was there until I checked to see if I suceeded posting on Dev's Spectacular New Website.

The first installment of our ring tone collection "Ringtones 4 Teens." These original compositions are perfect for your Crunchberry or ePhone!

Bubby waits around near the door for Twin Sister's new EP

Last song as a 19 year old.  Dedicated to the reed organ.

They're not new Twin Sister songs, but come on, we're not the only band on earth.

The mix attached here is mostly nice and slow, and unless I'm forgetting someone, it only has one male voice on it. It just happened that way.

It's dedicated to the hair styles pioneered by the Cocteau Twins. It doesn't have much to do with October.

We're still working on our second EP. We want to get it done as soon as possible so that everyone can hear it. We're tracking vocals in about two weeks. Until we get everything in order, here are two "teasers" :

If you enjoy images of cats and Andrea but only have 38 seconds, enjoy this one:

"The Other Side of Your Face" and "You Still Know Me By Name" are, maybe, 60% recorded, along with "Milk and Honey" and "All Around and Away We Go". In case you couldn't hear on the recording, the name of the new EP is "Aquarellas".

Here is Milk and Honey and Ginger from our set at Bruar Falls on October 15th. If I do this correctly, the rest of the set should be posted in two's just like this in newer entries.

An older and nicer sounding demo of this is posted already-but here it is with lyrics!

This is a very old song that Andrea wrote a few years ago. Just picture her singing it. Another contender for "Cool Forthcoming Album That Isn't Finished Yet".

Something Andrea and I have been working on. It came from playing Neil Young's "After The Goldrush" over scary chords and singing it like a Halloween song.

The idea has been kicking around for a while, and will probably end up in the 2nd half of The Cool Forthcoming Album That Isn't Finished. "Please finish this song idea, other band members. I've lost my way," I said. My cat Chewy (Chewie? I guess I've never had to write it) was licking my toes the entire time I was tracking this demo. "Get outta here, fatso," I said.
