TWIN SISTER – In Heaven (Part 4)

The dramatic and incredibly brief conclusion to the In Heaven dialectic.

Twin Sister – “All Around and Away We Go” (from Color Your Life EP)

From: Natalie Snoyman
To: Brandon Hall

You know, the more I listen to the album, the less the vocals bother me. “Eastern Green” is a song I’ve really come to like and Eric’s voice is certainly one of the reasons I appreciate the last track. I will say, though, that I went back and listened to Vampires With Dreaming Kids and I think that Eric’s vocals are much better suited to an album like that — a little more quiet, a little more straightforward. To reiterate what you said, Andrea’s voice can be pretty darn unique and quirky and I think it’s a voice that is best suited for an album like In Heaven — one that is pretty darn unique and quirky in terms of its instrumentation.

I’ve had to remind myself a few times that In Heaven is this band’s first full-length record. I agree that it’s a promising record for a relatively new band. While each track is different in its own way, I think it’s cohesive and, like you said, it sounds like Twin Sister – a band that’s experimenting and carving out their sound.

You can be sure, though, that one of these songs will make its way onto my “Best of 2011” list. Oh yes. It just won’t be tracks 7, 8, or 9. Sorry.
