about

"Their songs are pop of the best sort: superficially buoyant yet also, for those listeners who wish to dig deeper, emotionally and intellectually engaging. …the album channels the analog warmth of a bygone era. The Sound of Leaving will almost surely continue to sound great decades after its creation." Robert Dean Lurie, Blurt

"Twinstar know how to craft a gorgeous, long-lasting and triumphant record...The Sound of Leaving is a home run from start to finish. Struggling songwriters who want to expand their craft, should look no further than these 10 songs. If you want to know how to do it better, give yourself an hour and sit down with The Sound of Leaving. It just might change your life." - Gregory Robson, AbsolutePunk

"The combination of understated, ringing guitars, floating vocals, and soaring string arrangements come together to create a final product that is wonderfully thought out, skillfully executed, and blissfully gorgeous all at once." Quick Strike/Striker Bill

"...like the post punk sound of returning to Art of Noise and New Order when they were doing their great genre blending dance punk things 30 years ago. Not derivative and easily something today's kids can call their own." Midwest Record

"Twinstar make music that seems to encapsulate all of the hallowed traits of classic indie rock while also allowing for the band to put their own inspired spin on the material." Joshua Pickard - Beats Per Minute

"If there ever was an album born out of pure artistic integrity...this is IT. Hard to compare these songs to anyone else we've heard lately because of their slightly experimental nature. Highly recommended... TOP PICK." - Babysue/LMNOP

about

Twinstar Los Angeles, California

Bridging a gap between the hazy days of the Wrecking Crew and cinematic 60s pop, and a current post-punk revival. It’s something you think you may have heard before, but then again—maybe you haven’t. A strange hybrid borne of the sometimes-competing musical interests of Joyner and Twinstar’s other main constant, multi-instrumentalist and co-producer, Chris Candelaria. ... more
