twen - one stop shop colored vinyl
one stop shop is the sophomore album from Nashville-based DIY juggernauts twen. In an age of mediocre songs with pristine studio-production, one stop shop provides an antidote with 10 hook-laden compositions, chock-full of purposeful, inspired rock songs about modern life in 2022. Half-written tunes, downloaded beats, multi-producer records, stylists and PR teams can run for the hills. These songs are beautifully evocative, political without patronizing or pandering, and widespread in their diversity of sounds & emotions. Title track “One Stop Shop (For A Fading Revolution)” is a propulsive overture for the end times, while lead single “HaHaHome” is an ode to brit-pop with a Stone-roses-esque bassline that could even make Paul McCartney jealous. “Brooklyn Bridge” showcases the duo’s ability to craft metaphorically complex lyrics that are simultaneously immediate because of the heartfelt prosody of Jane Fitzsimmons’ vocals- vocals that until now, would’ve seemed out of twen’s former wheelhouse as “indie-psych-rockers”.
Available now on limited edition Seaglass Blue vinyl via twen enterprises.
