George Lewis Jr., known as Twin Shadow, is a Dominican-American musician, actor, model, and composer recognized for his musical contributions to film and television, and his work in fashion collaborations. After initiating the ‘Twin Shadow’ project in Brooklyn, New York, in 2006, George Lewis Jr., known professionally as Twin Shadow, went on to release his critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Forget,’ in 2010 on Terrible Records. Produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, the album earned widespread praise, appearing on numerous ‘album of the year’ lists from outlets including Pitchfork and Stereogum, and led to his recognition as Rolling Stone’s Band of the Week in 2010. This foundational work established his distinctive synth-pop sound, characterized by 80s new wave influences, haunting synth textures, and poetic lyrics.
Lewis released his fourth studio album, ‘Caer,’ in 2018. Later that year, he launched his independent label Cheree Cheree, under which he released the single ‘Hollow Days,’ notable for its incorporation of bachata sounds, followed by the EP ‘Broken Horses.’ Twin Shadow’s fifth, self-titled album, ‘Twin Shadow,’ was released in 2021, and was recorded in the Dominican Republic.
