Twin Shadow is the Brooklynite who seems to have sprouted out of nowhere and is capturing the new 80’s movement’s hearts with every synthy step he duly takes. The lead single and the song that catapulted him into the eye of the public, slow is the best song not only on the album, but possible the best song to come out of the rejuvenated 80’s movement. The somewhat spacey beat that he creates sounds so otherworldly it seems like he’s singing it from another universe, with his voice soaring from the clouds while the guitars and synths fly around him creating something truly epic. The refrain of the chorus is also so fragile, adding lyrics worthy of the loneliness that Morrissey would feel ‘I don’t wanna be/believe in love’ whilst the delivery is so heartbreakingly convincing that even Jason Statham would have to squeeze a dagger shaped tear out of his stone eyes. A true calling to that sound of the 80’s which has never truly been done justice, until now.
