1/14 – Twin Shadow has a new album set for March 17th…as George (the main brain behind Twin Shadow) puts it on the YouTube entry for this new single, “my friends keep asking, ‘Turn me up’, what’s that mean? I keep saying, Take more from me. Ask more of me. Give me more back. Stop fighting against the things you want the most.”
