Next Thursday (June 20), down-tempo synthpop stud Twin Shadow and Swedish drum-and-dub diva Elliphant are set to take the stage at Maison, and OffBeat’s got a pair of tickets to the show up for grabs.
Twin Shadow & Elliphant at Maison on Thursday, June 20
Born in the Dominican Republic, raised in Florida, and boasting an expansive musical background that includes composing for a touring dance company and fronting a Boston punk group, George Lewis, Jr. put his own multifaceted spin on chillwave when he started making solo bedroom recordings in Brooklyn as Twin Shadow. A born crooner with a nostalgic yet bittersweet ’80s tone to his music, Lewis made demos that soon caught the attention of Grizzly Bear’s similar-minded Chris Taylor, who produced Forget and released it on his Terrible Records imprint in 2010. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
