TWINS, Atlanta-based musician Matt Weiner's synth project, will release New Cold Dream on 2MR this October.
The album's title is a play on Simple Minds' 1982 LP, New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84), and looks at how the foundations for our current political and economic climate were laid in the Reagan-Thatcher era. On the ten-track LP, Weiner examines the present moment, singing over synth-driven tracks that channel industrial, electro and, naturally, '80s synth pop.
TWINS has been active out of Atlanta since 2010. Weiner, who also runs the dance label CGI Records and has a hand in the darker-tinged DKA Records, first started working with 2MR in 2018, when he released the That Which Is Not Said LP. Weiner is also part of a duo called Free Range, whose upcoming King Of Snake EP launches Elena Columbi's new imprint, Osàre! Editions.
