Twin Shadow

'Eclipse' (album stream)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Mar 9, 2015

George Lewis Jr. is finally set to return as Twin Shadow with the release of his latest LP Eclipse next week. But before it hits shelves, Exclaim! is giving you an advanced listen to the album in its entirety.
 
The new record marks the follow-up to 2012's Confess and Twin Shadow's third LP overall. It was recorded at Lewis Jr.'s studio in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and reflects a positive shift in his creative process.

A previously released statement from Lewis Jr. explains that following a period of solitude, "things began to re-establish themselves; including loving relationships, a strength in the dynamic between my mother & I, as well as energetic states of mind and general excitement to play music. Things were aligned again without me trying to control them."
 
It's from this state that the 11 songs on Eclipse emerged. Ranging from the R&B-infused piano ballad opener "Alone" to the shimmering synth-pop of "Half Life," and the uptempo highlight "Old Love/New Love," to the cinematic drama of "To the Top," Lewis Jr. proves that he can still move fluidly between genres without losing Twin Shadow's distinctive voice.
 
Eclipse officially arrives on March 17 via Warner Bros. Records. You can see Twin Shadow's upcoming North American dates below, and keep scrolling to get your first listen to the album in the player at the bottom of the page.
