YKR 2015: Mystery Twins

posted December 30, 2015 #

Releasing the Mystery Twins 7" for "TV Talk" is something of an extra special treat for me. First and foremost, I love the garage rock styles that Doug Lehmann and Stephanie Brush turn out - they're energetic, memorable, visceral and fun. Granted, that's a lot of feelings to pack into a single song and a cover but they manage to execute on all fronts.

Secondly, the artwork for the record was designed and laser cut by Bryce McCloud of Isle of Printing. Not only does it look great but it's animated. Yes, as you remove the sleeve from the packaging the cut slits animate the imagery. For lack of a better word, it's awesome.

Lastly, Doug is the original creator of We Own This Town - the Nashville music site I curate. He's a smart, talented, funny guy and I'm happy to have had the chance to work with him.
