Twin Fantasy
Will Toledo always knew he would return to Twin Fantasy. He never did complete the work. Not really. Never could square
his grand ambitions against his mechanical limitations. Listen to his first attempt, recorded at nineteen on a cheap
laptop, and you'll hear what Brian Eno fondly calls "the sound of failure" - thrilling, extraordinary, and singularly
compelling failure. He has, now, the benefit of a bigger budget, a full band in fine form, and endless time to tinker.
According to him, it took eight months of mixing just to get the drums right. But this is no shallow second take,
sanitized in studio and scrubbed of feeling. This is the album he always wanted to make. It sounds the way he always
wanted it to sound. It's been hard, stepping into the shoes of his teenage self, walking back to painful places. There
are lyrics he wouldn't write again, an especially sad song he regards as an albatross. But even as he carries the weight
of that younger, wounded Will, he moves forward. He grows. He revises, gently, the songs we love so much. In the album's
final moments, in those apologies to future me's and you's, there is more forgiveness than fury.
