You're My Favourite Daydream

Twin Shadow was somebody I meant to post about a while back during the Great Blog Drought Of '10 but never got around to it.

I stumbled across his video for 'Slow' again today, a clever pastiche of these vaguely pervy Calvin Klein advertisements that were banned in the 1990s:



Real name George Lewis Jr, Twin Shadow produces tuneful retro-sounding ballads, with fuzzy synths and sturdy drumbeats serving as a backdrop to his winsome wailing.

His album, 'Forget', is ideal for soundtracking the more peaceful moments in the day and 'Castles In The Snow' is probably my favourite track right now.
