CLUB MUSIC VOL. I IS AN EXPERT CONCOCTION: EBM WITH A STRONG TASTE OF NEW BEAT, SWIRLED AROUND IN ONE RATHER CAVERNOUS CAULDRON.THE BASS LINES MARCH, EVIL, COLD, PRECISE, PUNCTUATED BY TEXTURES SO FAMILIAR THEY SEEM TO BURST MORE FROM THE COLLECTIVE POP ID THAN ANY VINTAGE ELECTRONIC HARDWARE - HANDCLAPS, RECORD SCRATCHES, WHISTLES, DELAY-SOAKED BARKS, ET AL.THIS IS A VISION OF A DARK, CALCULATED 80’S, A VISION THAT FEELS TRUER TO THE REAL 80’S-ESQUE HELL WORLD WE CURRENTLY ENDURE THAN ANY IMAGINED PAST.CLUB MUSIC VOL. I IS A SATISFYING MANIFESTATION OF POP’S RETROMANIACAL INFINITE LOOP...GETTING DARKER AND DARKER WITH EACH ROTATION. LIKE THE HAMMER AND SICKLE GLARING AMBIGUOUSLY FROM THE COVER, CLUB MUSIC COULD STRIKE YOU AS REVISIONIST, UTOPIAN, OR SOMETHING MUCH, MUCH GRIMMER.

TWINS

TWINS (an acronym for That Which Is Not Said) is the industrial-strength synthpop and cold wave project of Atlanta-based producer, label operator, and visual artist Matt Weiner. Since founding TWINS in 2008, Weiner has spent more than a decade reveling in a moody myst that intersects seductive synth-pop, melancholic new wave, and grotesque industrial-dance grooves. With more than 15 records and hundreds of performances bearing the TWINS name coming out since 2010, Weiner has more than proved his sincerely sinister and auspiciously artful finesse of synth-based music. Operating from his home studio, arrayed with various tools of the trade, Weiner tempers his subtle scourges of sound with an unending sense of bold exploration, processing tracks of pulse-heavy aural catharsis. When performing these songs live, he brings an array of hardware to back up his flooring vocal performances, using his entire being to work the audience into a frenzied trance. When not making music as TWINS, Weiner also DJs and runs the CGI Records label and co-runs the DKA label.
