George Lewis Jr. has announced his self-titled fifth album as Twin Shadow. It arrives on July 9 via his own Cheree Cheree label. He’s also previewed the record with a new single called ‘Get Closer’, which you can find below along with the album’s cover art and tracklist.
“Oftentimes we Band-Aid the problems that spring up along the way with the words ‘I love you’ or ‘but, I love you’,” Lewis said of the new track in a statement. “The idea that there is maybe a state between people that could be wildly closer than what we traditionally know as ‘love’ is a very exciting and hopeful thing to me. ‘I’ve got so much to learn about you/I’ve got to study’ and ‘I know you’re crucified each day for living’ are lines that hopefully show a dedication to getting better and a will to understand the depths and the complexities of the other.”
The self-titled LP follows Twin Shadow’s 2018 album Caer. Earlier this year, he released the singles ‘Alemania’ and ‘Johnny & Jonnie’.
