    Twin Shadow manages to stand out in a cluttered genre thanks to world-beating, danceable hooks and a surfeit of style.

    Although Forget might not usher in a new musical era, it's a near-flawless album and certainly one of the most impressive debuts we've ever seen. It might not change your life, but it will bury itself deep into your brain and make you feel good and warm for a couple of days.

    Co-produced in the US by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, Twin Shadow is assured hipster status in his adopted New York home. [Jan 2011, p.142]

    Out of all the artists currently aping/paying homage to/trying to replicate the sound of the 80's, this guy does it best without sounding gimmicky. Really not a single bad song on the entire album but "At My Heels" "Slow" and "When We're Dancing" are especially excellent. Definitely one of the top albums of the year and one that you can see having staying power.… Expand

    If you think that lo-fi is just one of those artistic names given to the sound of average musicians, here is Twin Shadow to change your mind. This lo-fi artist is the best this genre has till today, he combines it with simplicity and harmony to create some chill-tasty music. This my friends is music to enjoy, in the morning, at night, in the car or with your friends, is just beautiful music to your ears.… Expand

    The debut album for George Lewis Jr. "Forget" was produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear. Jr hooks you in with the second track When Were Dancing which transports you to an 80's night club in downtown somewhere. The album has very floaty melodies that make you think of them long after you've finished the album. Fans of Grizzly Bear can feel the influence on some of the later tracks that feel more spacey and experimental. This isn't ground breaking music, but its an honest attempt to do it right. I'd give this album 7/10. Key tracks to listen to; When Were Dancing, At My Heels, Castles In The Snow. http://clockcatcher.blogspot.com/… Expand
