Twilight Sleep

Twilight Sleep’s evolution from idea to actively gigging band has been a gradual but exciting process, fueled by the group’s fearless creativity and ability to work as a productive team, culminating in last month’s release of the Race to the Bottom of the Sea EP, their sophomore and most fully-realized effort to date. Full of movement and feeling with sound combinations ranging from sleek to slightly raw, there is a post-punk vibe to the music that feels like 1983 married to an up-to-the-minute Silver Lake sensibility. A bit of goth and electronica pull from the band’s early Bay Area roots, and founding member Raj Lathigara’s years of training in classical Indian music yields impeccable song structures. The lyrics are Marcellino’s, inspired by sounds she and Lathigara create, and she calls their content “a snapshot of my mind.” The first track, “Night So Lush,” sounds like a handful of jewels scattered on velvet, and blue feathers and rubies are just a few of the graceful images interwoven on “Bluebird (Red Sky).” – Performer Mag
