Twen est un groupe de van-lifeing rock qui a émergé sur la scène musicale de la côte est en 2017 avec son mélange distinct d’influences shoegaze, indie rock et post-punk. Bien que le groupe ait été formé en 2016 par la chanteuse Jane Fitzimmons et le guitariste Ian Rollins Jones, leur émergence post-pandémique a marqué le début de ce qui est essentiellement un projet entièrement nouveau, à l’exception du fait qu’ils ont gardé le nom « Twen ».

Le duo de cinq musiciens prépare son troisième album qui sortira en 2024, mais il a déjà lancé le premier single  » SeaStar « , un retour aux hymnes de plage de la Californie du Sud au début des années 2000, qui montre que le groupe a évolué de l’esthétique timide et shoegaze de  » Awestruck  » (2019) vers un classicisme moderne, caractérisé sur leur deuxième album  » One Stop Shop  » (2022) par des paroles politiques (mais pleines d’espoir), des accroches indélébiles et un mélange sonore maison qui récompense l’auditeur à chaque fois qu’il le fait.

 

English

Twen is a van-lifeing rock band that emerged onto the east coast music scene in 2017 with their distinct blend of shoegaze, indie rock, and post-punk influences.  Though the band was formed in 2016 by lead vocalist Jane Fitzimmons and guitarist Ian Rollins Jones, their emergence post-pandemic has marked the beginning of what is essentially an entirely new project; save for their keeping the name “Twen”.

This latest chapter is marked by the band booking their own tours, designing and screen printing their own merch, directing and editing their own music videos, and producing and mixing their own albums; all to a degree which would seem impossible to believe, if you didn’t know that they also built their own mobile-home from scratch and have been living in it, traversing the North American continent for the past 3 years.

The duo-led 5 piece are readying their 3rd LP to be released in 2024, but have already debuted lead single ‘SeaStar’; an early 00’s throwback to Southern California beach anthems that finds the band further evolving from the coy, shoegaze aesthetics of ‘Awestruck’ (2019) – to a modern classicism; characterized on their 2nd LP ‘One Stop Shop’ (2022) by political (yet hopeful) lyrics, indelible hooks and a home-grown sonic mix that rewards the listener with each subsequent spin.

With over 350 shows under their belt across North America and Europe, including arena appearances supporting Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Wet Leg, Whitney, Tacocat, & White Reaper, Twen’s live show exhibits their all-around relevance as a DIY rock band thriving in the digital age. “
