Twin Shadow announce new album, release single 'Half Asleep'

Nic Huber

Synth-pop musician Twin Shadow has announced the release details surrounding his upcoming seventh studio album Cadet, due out November 20 via Dom Recs.

In tandem, the artist, born George William Lewis Jr., also shared the album's lucid third single "Half Asleep". Watch the official lyric video below:

Shortly following the release of his intimate sixth album Georgie, dedicated to Lewis Jr.'s late father, Cadet sees the Dominican-born triple threat — he's also an actor and novelist — back in his drum machine bag.

Of the album, he shares:

"'Cadet' isn’t a remix record. I wanted to move past that word. Too often, “remix” just means a quick club version or a money grab. At best, it can mean those incredible edits we get every once in a while, which modernize something classic. What I wanted was to start fresh—flip the mood of Georgie and make it more energetic, more carefree. I worked on it non-stop for about a month, grinding because I was so excited by the idea. I pulled in people close to me—Blackpaw, Nest Acoustics, my longtime friend Ray Brady, and Little Coyote, who came down the street one day to sing on a track. Hopefully, 'Cadet' feels more than 'Georgie' reimagined. Not an erasure but a modification — the treating my former self as collaborator, my present self as a guide or some sort of architect, builder, or wrecking ball — Hopefully the result is a body of work that argues for ownership as a creative tool, not just a business term."
