Impressions
It would appear that the first bands trying to capture a bit of
Sleigh Bells' crossover success are here, and Twin//Venus have
managed to find that sweet spot on TenderFang, with just
enough noise and feedback piled on top of simmering-sweet vocals,
themselves occasionally awash in effects. Whereas SB went for full
frontal assault on guitars and hiss, Twin//Venus have thankfully
taken the path of slightly more worn and parred back the layers of
noise so that the song structure can shine through like a
drum-machine loop of sunlight cutting through the darkness. Mind you,
that slightly worn path isn't the most excitingly built (keyboards,
guitars, and drum machines are the building blocks of Twin//Venus
sound), but the songs themselves are varied in tempo and genre
leanings - lots more cold techno and electronic than guitar rock in
actuality. The vocals on “NothingCanBeatYou” might cause frost to
form, even if the lyrics aren't nearly as cold-hearted as the music
they're sung over. The proceedings are helped along by the songs
being brief, just when one trick starts getting stale, Twin//Venus
pulls a new song out on us – its hard to argue with a continuous
stream of brain candy under 3 minutes long. You might not remember it
in the morning, hell, you may not want to remember it before its
over, I didn't care. It was a good musical fix when I was looking for
one, quality electronic noise pop.
