barnaby nygren Like Baltimore or the car fire on the cover this combines grimness (industrial elements) and beauty (strong songs) in a way that's ugly, gothic, and dark without becoming either unlistenable or a cartoon of itself. Favorite track: let you down.

about

The world is a ugly place. Baltimore noise-gaze industrial punk trio UGLY TWIN formed during the pandemic around a high volume love of damaged punk, shoegaze, and industrial music. In their contaminated practice space, they birthed a chemical mutant on the crystal skeleton of an industrial drum machine where Rob Savillo's contorted, repetitive riffs and searing melodies act as a parasitic muscle group alongside the hammering assault of Jenny Andrzejewski's bass nervous system and topped with Matt Buie's muffled, paranoid vocals that sound like the skin of this creature they can't control. This creature opens its maw as a hybrid of Brainbombs, My Bloody valentine, (early) Uniform, Big Black, Negative Approach, Astrobrite, Godflesh, and Cocteau Twins that haunts the train tracks looking into stagnant pools of oil for a glimmer of its pure self.

Featuring members of The Holy Circle and Silk Leash and ex-members of Xetas and Birth (Defects). -Anathemata Editions
