Heads Up World, “Ceres & Calypso In The Deep Time” Out June 25

Heads Up World, “Ceres & Calypso In The Deep Time” Out June 25 May 22, 2013

On their fourth full-length album - third for Twosyllable - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time, Fort Collins creative collective Candy Claws delve deep into new territory. The subject for the concept of this album goes beyond place and time and takes the listener on a Journey Through the Mesozoic Era. The album is divided into three parts highlighting major periods of the extinct reptiles’ history, Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. Experience it in one sitting and the story will unfold before you like a theatrical play, grandiose at times and playful at others.

Of track “Transitional Bird (Clever Girl)”, Pitchfork says:

“…in adding a palpable joy and guileless wonder to the shoegaze blueprint…Candy Claws ensure that “Transitional Bird” sounds like pretty much nothing else that’s resulted in 20+ years of Loveless worship.”

New Release: TSR015: Houtakker - Houtakker

New Release: TSR015: Houtakker - Houtakker August 29, 2012

We’ve been waiting with bated breath for Joseph Murphy, the man behind Chicago’s Houtakker, to expand on songs we’d heard over the past few years.  We are proud to digitally release this first offering from Houtakker.

Houtakker is no stranger to twosyllable, we included his wonderful “Judy, Judy” on our Chicago Comp last summer and he has played with Distractions and Pet Lions for years.

More interested in tones, textures and melodies than technique, Houtakker just wants to make you feel good.

Check out “The Spirit of Invention” below, and head over to our Bandcamp to listen to the entire album.
