To coincide with their first North American headlining
tour, Twin Sister will be releasing a limited
12" tour single featuring a Balam Acab remix of
"Kimmi in a Rice Field" backed with a Lindstrom and
Prins Thomas remix of "Bad Street." Both singles
appear on their debut album In Heaven (recently named one
of Stereogum's Top 50 albums of 2011) released this past September on
Domino.
Signed to Domino Records in late 2010, the band spent that
winter writing and recording in an isolated and snow covered beach house in
northern Long Island, took the songs to a Philadelphia recording studio,
and emerged with their 2011's debut LP, In Heaven. Throughout all this
activity, Twin Sister have toured relentlessly, opening for Beirut, Explosions
in the Sky, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Wild Beasts, Bear
in Heaven, and Real Estate, not to mention slots at FYF
Fest and Pitchfork Music Festival.

"[The band go] deep, taking its time with tempos and
moving harmonies... some gifted and cloistered young minds" NEW YORK
TIMES
"[In Heaven] highlights all the right things about the
band, further proving there's more to the group than pretty bedroom pop... give
yourself over to this record, and it gives back" - PITCHFORK [Best
New Track for “Kimmi in a Rice Field”]
"In Heaven somehow manages to rise above its easy
reference points, finding subtle ways to impress in spite of its occasionally
obvious methods." PASTE
"In Heaven is a significant advance for Twin Sister, both
in the way that it smoothes over and clarifies its original aesthetic and in
the way it explores a handful of new avenues." DUSTED
"[In Heaven] carries with it a magnificent
incandescence... as good a distillation of pop's best qualities." TINY MIX
TAPES
