Remember that wonderful time when you would be shocked by your favorite band signing a deal with a major label? Blasphemy, one would say! How could they?
Last time that happened for me, it was Modest Mouse, and I stopped caring in five minutes. Now it’s 2014, and my alienation from the music industry has only deepened. So it really comes as no surprise to me that one George Lewis, Jr., a musician that performs as Twin Shadow, has inked a deal with a major major, Warner Bros. Records.
According to the press release, Lewis has found a “group of like minded people” at WBR, whose help he needed to “pull off the vision for this next album.” Said album should be out in spring of 2015. It follows up 2012’s Confess (on 4AD) and the single “To the Top,” which was released earlier this year. Twin Shadow will also restart their Eclipse tour, which was canceled due to Lewis’s creative impulses. Those dates are below.
