Album Of The Week: Twin Shadow Confess

You may have already noticed this, but we're having a big week for new music. It seems weird to think that the big-leap sophomore album from a young, hyped-up Brooklyn '80s pastiche-artist might fly under the radar, but that's happening just a tiny bit with Twin Shadow's Confess. Confess happens to land on the same day as the surprise early release of Frank Ocean's Channel Orange and the non-surprise on-time release of the Dirty Projectors' Swing Lo Magellan, two rabidly anticipated and undeniably stunning new LPs. Confess is merely a very good second album from someone who gets better at what he's doing all the time. But in the past week or so, we already posted breathless endorsements of both Channel Orange and Swing Lo Magellan, and god knows you'll hear more about both albums in the weeks ahead. So let's talk a bit about Confess, since Confess deserves to be talked about.
