Twin Crystals: TWO GIRLS Straight outta Vancouver’s famed Downtown Eastside, Twin Crystals bring the noise of hope amidst squalor, art amidst chaos. While art-skool poseurs are busily gentrifying the scummy drug-den riddled DTES, Jesse, Jordan, and Jeremiah are truly hood – they sleep on couch cushions and oh how their eyes light up when their label comes by with a bag of just plain hamburgers.
Twin Crystals formed shortly after Channels 3 and 4 (of which Jesse is a member) had a famous meltdown on their UK tour. While Ch3x4 was noted for their precise, lean, austere post-punk, Twin Crystals is becoming even better known for their full-on, muscular, pummeling post-rock dirges. On Two Girls, their debut single (available only on 7-inch vinyl on Summer Lovers Unlimited), Twin Crystals bring a decidedly focused assault of jagged synths, almost sexual guitar textures, and ingenious song structures, with its many sweeps and swells nothing less than breathtaking. Make no mistake: these dudes are no co-op jam-band chancers bashing one out – this is the fucking resurrection.

A – TWO GIRLS
B1 – TRINITY
B2 -- SAFETY
File under: rock, post-rock, electronic
Recommended if you like: Nirvana, Tones on Tail, Throbbing Gristle
