The Monday Set: Twin Shadow – New Orleans – 4/7/2011

Twin Shadow
One Eyed Jacks
New Orleans, LA
4/7/2011

Twin Shadow opened up for fellow Brooklyners Pains of Being Pure at Heart on their current national tour. I have to admit I didn’t know much about these guys, and what there is online tends to emphasize the role of singer-guitarist George Lewis, Jr. But the crowd was totally into them and were dancing up a storm (see Carlie’s photo, above). What you have here is essentially the bulk of the new TS album, called Forget. This album was produced by one of the guys from Grizzly Bear, but it bears no real resemblance to that band’s style.

I’ll also say that I think this is one of the best-sounding recordings I’ve done to-date.  One Eyed Jacks is my favorite venue in NOLA, and the sound was terrific that night.

Setlist:
1. Shooting Holes
2. Tyranny Destroyed
3. When We’re Dancing
4. I Can’t Wait
5. Slow
6. At My Heels
7. Castle in the Snow
8. Forget
