The first thing you’ll notice about Twin Sister’s debut LP In Heaven is the compositional strength the group displays throughout. Everything from the beautifully restrained opener “Daniel”, to the funky strut of “Bad Street”, to the synthed-out spaghetti western vibe of “Gene Ciampi” feels perfectly planned and executed – a mark of only the highest-caliber pop groups. But you can find by-the-numbers pop anywhere, and it’s the unexpected turns that In Heaven takes that really set the record apart. I mean, just try to think of another group that can make “synthed-out spaghetti western” sound like a good thing. – Mike Nigro
