Twin Falls started off as a solo project for frontman Luke Stidson but slowly took on a life of its own adding members and instrumentations along the road. The “We Will Begin To Flicker” ep was the first I heard of them, its bitter-sweet tones becoming a fixture on my commute.
These acoustic anchored songs benefit from a deliberately lo-fi production, succeeding in giving the impression the tracks are being recorded right in front of you in a cosy room in front of a fireplace. Despite the warmth that emanates from these tracks an underlying heavy-heart rears its head occasionally adding new dimension.
Admittedly this post is long overdue. I had written a glowing review way back when I received the EP in the Summer but proceeded to lose my notebook with all my scribbled thoughts. Even though this review is not nearly as long or articulate as the previous version, at least in my mind, I would be doing anyone reading this blog a disservice if I didn’t at least try write about them again.
Fortunately there is a new EP due in January to keep me longing for Twin Falls‘ alt-country song structures.
