Hot on the heels of single “The Way We Touch,” L.A.-based duo WE ARE TWIN delivers their self-titled debut EP, a five song set of upbeat bluesy pop. It’s a refreshingly anti-four-on-the-floor concoction that puts songwriting and more traditional structure front and center, relying vocalist Gabi Christine’s versatile vocals and multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Balachandran’s array of excellent productions, accessible backbones that recall popular sounds of the past without dipping shamelessly into retread. Even for something decidedly pop-leaning, it’s music that demands the heart rather than simply compelling the feet to move or the head to nod.
