The dream pop duo Twin Oaks just recently released a new track from their upcoming EP. Nothing, as this new (released march 21) song is called, is a somewhat darker Twin Oaks compared to earlier work. The whole track contains a dark, ominous vibe. Some parts even sounds a bit like the 90's grunge wave while some parts touches the spectrum of post rock. Nothing starts of minimalistic with moving vocals and a lyrical material that adds to the harshness and asperity. The track constantly grows, adds layers of atmosphere, a beat with a reverb to die for and grand guitars. With Nothing, Twin Oaks have created a slow, pulsating crescendo. The whole song starts and finishes with the lines "Please forgive me for I have sinned". This line in itself captures and frames the beauty with Nothing which contains an almost cinematic, gray filtered, impression of despair paired with a distant, lingering but unsung hope, more represented in the music than in the lyrics themselves. The EP is planned for this summer and if Twin Oaks continues down the road of Nothing then we sure have someting look forward to.
