Twen – “SeaStar”

We are unabashed fans of Twen. If you need evidence of this, go listen to our song-by-song interview for their album One Stop Shop.

That said, we’re overjoyed to see that they’ve released a new track and video today for “SeaStar.” As with their previous endeavors there’s a lot of shimmery guitars, memorable harmonies and subtle touches that really stand out on multiple listens (I think there’s a 90’s record scratch that’s actually done well!?). There’s also a delightful balance of melancholy and optimism; particularly when you pay attention the lyrics.

Don’t think you’re apart
From the world that made you
Only you know
How it sings

That’s just the tip of the iceberg! It’s a poignant piece tucked inside of a pop song that is well suited by the beachy backdrop of the video.

It’s also worth noting that we’re witnessing history repeat itself. In December of 2021, the band released “HaHaHome,” the first single from the aforementioned 2022 summer full-length One Stop Shop. According to a brief press release from the band, their 3rd full-length is on the horizon. Not long now and we’ll have even more Twen in our ears.
