Tether Beat is one of my favorite tracks off of Twin Shadow's debut release, "Forget" (2010). It starts slowly and builds into a dark, catchy 80s dance tune, complete with dreamy and retro synthesizer sounds, modulated vocals, and lightly-flanged guitar solos.
Twin Shadow is the stage name of Dominican-born, Florida-raised, George Lewis Jr., who has a knack for creating catchy 80s-esque dance tunes. "Forget" was produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and it shows. Taylor helps Twin Shadow mold "Forget" into a melting pot of new wave and synth-pop with undertones of chamber rock, without being too much of just one genre. While you're at it check out a few others from the album, such as "Castles in the Snow" or "When We're Dancing".
Very New Order sounding... I like it
