Warner Bros. Records is pleased to announce that it has signed George Lewis, Jr., AKA Twin Shadow, to its roster, and will release the Los Angeles-based artist's third album, next Spring. Twin Shadow will then embark on a headline tour behind the album starting in March 2015. Dates below. Earlier this year, Twin Shadow released the single 'To The Top,' which he performed on Conan in June. Billboard stated, 'Twin Shadow's canyon-sized 'To The Top' has lofty goals and proceeds to soar straight past them,' and Stereogum deemed the track a 'masterpiece' and 'possibly the biggest, grandest thing that Lewis has ever recorded.'
George Lewis Jr. announced today:
When I last wrote, I shared the news that we had to postpone our tour. With a huge sigh of relief I can finally reveal a few more details about what is happening in the Twin Shadow camp and also share new tour dates with you.
The Dominican Republic-born, Florida-bred Lewis adopted the Twin Shadow moniker in 2006. He has released two previous albums on indie labels Terrible and 4AD, 2010's Forget and 2012's Confess - an international critical smash that Pitchfork hailed as 'Best New Music' for its 'brash lyrics [and] laser-focused songwriting.' Uncut called it 'an impeccable sequel to an immaculate debut' and NME dubbed a 'thrill ride.' Stunning live performances opening for Florence & the Machine and The Strokes, appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, plus his own headlining shows have earned Lewis a reputation as a charismatic and compelling frontman. He has also performed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Conan, and his song 'Old Love, New Love' in video game Grand Theft Auto V was named one of the best songs of 2013 by Rolling Stone. His songs have been heard on such prestige shows as Ray Donovan and Damages.
