Big Ears Festival 2018 in Knoxville, Tennessee is set to be a mecca for the avant-garde of the indie rock, pop and jazz world. The festival has a diverse lineup of "musician's musicians" that focuses on music that goes deep on thought and concept. The Big Ears 2018 lineup is here and you can find more information on the festival as well.
The new Twin Sister video shows lead singer Andrea Estella's family's house in Long Island on a particularly festive Summer day. They're doing a record release show at the Mercury Lounge in New York City and playing shows on tour with Explosions in the Sky, Wild Beasts, and Pains of Being Pure at Heart.
Domino Records signed Long Island, NY band Twin Sister for the release of their full-length debut album due later this year. They had been self-released the interesting (and free) EP Dreaming Kids in 2008 and the Color Your Life EP in the Infinite Best label. They also released a split single with Luyas for Record Store Day.
Twin Sister have a sort of experimental pop sound to them, part indie aesthetic and part dream pop (Stereogum says "starbursting guitars!"). Domino Records signed the Long Island, NY band for the release of their full-length debut album due later this year. Titled In Heaven, the album will be available on CD, vinyl and download on Sept. 27.
