Twin Shadow – “Castles In The Snow” (remixed by Com Truise)

You should listen to whatever 4AD Records (home to legendary bands like Cocteau Twins and Modern English) has to say.  You should also listen to anything Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear touches. He produced the ’80s influenced debut album of George Lewis, Jr. aka Twin Shadow.  As a sucker for any sound that is firmly rooted in the ’80s, Terrible Records artist Twin Shadow is a must listen for any fan echoing the sounds of a new romantic classic.

Tracks like “Castles In the Snow” really flaunted Twin Shadow’s trademark haunted melodies over shimmering pop and delicate brushes of ’80s nostalgia. So, I was rather impressed with New Jersey “Chillwave” producer Com Truise (aka Seth Haley) transmogrifying remix in which it didn’t sound too far different from the original except for taking it nu-melodic depths by amping up the bottom layers of the song. It’s equal parts dreamy and sparkle. Confused? Understandable. It’s just good, chillwave music to lose yourself in.
