TWIN THOUSANDS - LIKE YOU A LOT

"LIKE YOU A LOT is a gloriously sun drenched sounding slice of shimmering indie pop; Twin Thousands melding shoegaze and electro pop to dizzying effect here."

Like You A Lot
EXERCISE1 RECORDS

An excursion into shoegazer meets electro pop ecstasy, Twin Thousands create a sound that imagines Slowdive getting into a ruck with The Human League at a Pastels show.
The work of A Million Billion's Ryan Smith and Cursive and Bright Eye's Gretta Cohn, debut single LIKE YOU A LOT is a gloriously twee slice of shimmering indie pop; Twin Thousand indulging all their C86 infatuations into a wonderful three minutes of pristine pop.  Gretta Cohn lays down her delicate vocals over feather light synthesiser washes, the odd eruption of guitar white noise and the swellings of an orchestral flourish.
LIKE YOU A LOT is a gloriously sun drenched sounding slice of shimmering indie pop; Twin Thousands melding shoegaze and electro pop to dizzying effect here.
