The Twits
âThe Twitsâ was recorded by the trio over eight weeks from February 2023 in a makeshift home studio in Mallorca, and was mixed by Marta Salogni. It finds bar italiaâs economical yet evocative songcraft taking raucous, mystic, unkempt, occasionally sinister, and wholly committed turns. Songs like âmy little tonyâ, with its in-the-red riff and excitable hooks, the cathartic four-on-the-floor of âworldâs greatest emoterâ and the festival tent psychedelia of âHi-fiverâ need little in the way of exposition â these are exhilarating rock songs, if wayward and strange.
Other moments see the bandâs increasingly signature, three-act mini-dramas moving into previously uncharted territory. Cristante, Fehmi and Fenton can each manifest a different melody, mood, and cadence â at times overlapping and linear, at others unexpectedly divergent â often within the space of thirty seconds, a tag team rooted in shared language and kinship. âJelsyâ, for instance, plays out like a conversation between friends over wistful, buzzing country blues, the alternating voices at points comforting, wry and hopelessly yearning. The sinuous, slow-burning waltz of âtwistâ stands out in its bare lyricism and seems to invite each band memberâs individual take on a confessional.
