Recently we played a show at the Hollywood Bowl with Phoenix and Girls. It was amazing. Mid-Phoenix’s-set, they went into the audience, very close to where I was seated and performed two acoustic songs. The second was this Johnny Hallyday cover.

Twin Shadow’s Forget is the first full-length release on Chris Taylor’s label Terrible Records. You can read release info and listen to a couple tracks at Pitchfork.

But before you do that, check out the first video, directed by Alex Markman. A message from Chris:

Hello, everyone! We are very excited to announce the first video from Terrible Records recording artist Twin Shadow. The song “Slow” from the album entitled Forget is really good. Let it make you feel really good. This album makes me feel real good. Please enjoy.

If there’s something familiar about the look and feel of the video, it might be because it’s inspired in part by a controversial Calvin Klein ad campaign from the 90’s. It’s worth revisiting:

Amazingly Cute!

Description says: Andrew is ‘playing’ along to ‘Two Weeks’. He taught himself ‘the lyrics’ and ‘the parts’ he’s playing … this really blows my mind since he just turned 3. I did not teach him anything, not directly, he’s only observed me (his dad) boppin’ to it in the car & stuff. Andrew is obsessed with Veckatimest, Grizzly Bear’s new album.

Letterman Cancellation

Ed Droste — Thu, 21 May 2009 02:36:38 +0000

It’s with a sad face I must report we were last-minute bumped from this evening’s Letterman performance. We had gone through all the motions, only to be alerted of the cut as we watched Dave mutter the “I’m sorry we ran out of time for Grizzly Bear” at the end of the show. Make up on, faces clearly bummed, we packed our bags and left disheartened. Being bumped for a car commercial was lame, especially since we’d been so attentive to the details and parameters that network television production always have.

That said, we were lucky enough to get to debut a song on Letterman last summer and get another chance to play again this year and are really happy we received the invitation again. The producers felt so bad they offered us tomorrow’s slot, but our string quartet was unavailable and we’d grown attached to the idea of doing something new and fun for a late night TV show. So the good news is we’ll be coming back in July to perform the song as it was meant to be seen tonight. May not be as “fresh” then, but it’ll still be lots of fun, and we really want to get a chance to perform with the lovely string quartet again, as they were so gracious and wonderful to us after all these mishaps!

All is still wonderful in GB land, though. We feel extremely lucky and blessed to have even been IN a situation like this and would like to thank all our fans for making this record release feel so exciting and anticipated. We couldn’t be more thrilled to hit the road and play for you all. I followed the disappointment of the last minute cancellation with a lovely taco and beer session with a few friends in the sun. All was forgotten; no hard feelings anywhere; just happy to be doing what I
am doing.

Onwards and upwards to Letterman, the string quartet, and you all! :)
