Acclaimed synth-pop musician Twin Shadow shares “Dominoes,” the first single from his seventh album CADET, which is set to be released this year via Dom Recs. Produced by Twin Shadow with longtime friend and close collaborator Blackpaw, “Dominoes” comes to life through dynamic drum programming that adds urgency and new texture to one of Twin Shadow’s most intimate performances to date – you can hear the fun two friends had making the track. Both sonically expansive and lyrically direct, “Dominoes” captures the magic of hope.
“Dominoes is a reflection on vulnerability, distance, and devotion. The chorus sings: If my heart is an ocean / it’s totally blue = I’m all in.” –Twin Shadow
CADET follows Twin Shadow’s intimate sixth album, Georgie, which was released in March of this year. Dedicated to his late father, Georgie explores themes of grief, memory, and introspection through stripped-back and dreamy instrumentation. CADET sees Twin Shadow back in his drum machine bag with punchy drumbeats and heated warping synthesizers.
George Lewis Jr., better known by his stage name Twin Shadow, is a Dominican-born American musician, director, producer, and actor.
