Here's Fort Lean with their game faces on.
Twin Shadow is the brain trust of George Lewis Jr., who grew up in the Dominican Republic. His band churns out catchy, Cure-influenced synth-pop - you should check out their sounds here.
Twin Shadow recorded their debut album, Forget, back in 2010, and the assistant engineer happened to be a bassist named Jake Aron, who happens to play in a band called Fort Lean. If you don't know them, Fort Lean makes emotive indie-pop with a big fat heart slapped on its sleeve. Twin Shadow became fast friends with Jake, and now he's got a new remix from Twin Shadow's keyboardist Wynne Bennet, who also goes by the name of DJ Lee Cooper. It's an eighties-inspired dark cavern club banger, and you can check it out right here:
