Tiny Mix Tapes reviews new Window Twins album!

I previously blogged my love of "Yellow Light" but here's another cool song from the SF Exray's's album... it's more lo-fi-ish and decidedly more paranoid - the singer is having some sort of conversation with an alien prescense who he finds in the shadows and only he can see. Why they are here is a mystery. It's all so Phillip K. Dick.
"Now we know what the name is for / we can change every day / but the name is the same as before / We can tell you how to speak so well / We can build, take a walk or a drive high up in the air / We can tell you what to keep in a room / what to hide, when to wander, how to make what you find on your shelf / We can say what we came here for / We can do what you want if we want / but we don't care at all."
Window Twins is the collaborative project of Tim Cohen (The Fresh & Onlys, Magic Trick) and Jon Bernson (Exray’s, Ray’s Vast Basement). The two Bay Area musicians are gearing up to drop their sophomore full-length, Wish, on cassette on Oct. 16 via our pals at Crash Symbols. It’s also due out that same day on vinyl via Volar Records. The album is a psychedelic, trippy listen filled with echoing vocals, erratic/inventive percussion, and plenty of dense layers.
Those elements are abundant on standout track “Thunder & Lightning”, which is probably getting plenty of radio play in an alternate universe. Or, you know, any place where people appreciate straight-up good music. Anyway, Lord Tang (aka Dominic Cramp from Evangelista) laced the tune with even more psychedelia and even some dub vibes, making for a dreamy, tripped-out listen that you need to experience for yourself.
"... do not be attracted to the soft yellow light of the hungry ghosts."
