Dominican-born American musician, director, and producer Twin Shadow (George Lewis Jr.) delivers an intimate, minimal, eleven-song record—one that leans into grief, memory, and the quiet pulse of self-reckoning. Unlike past projects shaped by specific moments of transformation, 'Georgie' wasn’t born from a single event or tragedy. It emerged from a deeper, more fluid place—an artist listening to his own instincts in real time, writing in the moment rather than reacting to it.

“I had to come up with some way of doing it, some way of taking my attitude of genre-lessness and really go for it,” Lewis says. “In a moment, I closed my eyes and said: no drums and yes! Instruments without frets.” The album is built on and written with fretless bass and pedal steel—textures that let the songs breathe, that move with an internal, unforced rhythm. “Programming drum machines has been a passion of mine for a long time, but drums always felt like clear markers for ‘style.’ And I didn’t want to be ‘in fashion.’ I didn’t want anything slick. I’ve tried all that. I wanted to feel my own internal pulse—my own clock. Once I committed to no drums, that was enough of a blueprint. The songs poured out quickly.”

That immediacy, that here-and-nowness, is what 'Georgie' is really about. The songs exist without pretense or over-explanation. They are simply there, fully formed, unguarded.
