twin hidden

twin hidden is a multi-instrumentalist Indie-Pop duo from the UK, based in Manchester and London simultaneously. “We often combine music and lyrics to make songs,” claims the band that's won the support of BBC Introducing, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, 6 Music and Stereogum. Matthew Shribman and Sam Lea began making music together at the age of 10, releasing their first album in 2001, before their voices broke. This album is now where it belongs; at the bottom of the sea, where it will never be found. In autumn 2014, in a remote Welsh village, Shribman and Lea found a lost dog and, after returning it to its owner, were invited to compete in a bizarre talent competition, inexplicably hosted by Keith Allen at the local rugby club. After a hastily improvised set, Keith took twin hidden aside and offered to book them for Glastonbury and Latitude. Since then, twin hidden have been packing shows from London’s Ronnie Scott’s to Manchester’s Roadhouse, from SoFar Sounds to garages in Hackney. twin hidden claim to have performed their first ever show on the small, uninhabited island of Rockall, 300km off the coast of Scotland. “I find it difficult to explain why I love this band so much, but they are just geniuses.” – Rob Adcock, BBC Introducing “Growing a fervent fanbase just in the periphery of the public eye, twin hidden are now ready to launch a large-scale assault on our senses.” – Laurence Day, The Line of Best Fit “Spirited, inspiring indie pop... The duo have only placed a handful of tracks online, but their wide-eyed innocence and youthful splendour is already creating a stir.” – Robin Murray, Clash “These chaps are concocting pop music to change pop music as we know it.” – Daytrotter “Elaborate, kinetic indie-pop.” – Chris DeVille, Stereogum “Clever, constantly surprising and brilliant pop music.” – Jim Fletcher, Backseat Mafia “The twin hidden boys can do no wrong; they are soaring from strength to strength gaining attention from all the right people.” Charlotte Holroyd, Bittersweet Symphonies Read more on Last.fm.
