He’s a marvelous performer with whom I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage on several occasions. Since his move to the Big Apple, he’s getting a lot of attention for this newer project and will be releasing his album on Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear’s Terrible Records. This new song, “Slow” is the best thing I’ve heard from him, fusing Joy Division style production (the She’s Lost Control snare!) with Morissey croon. And the video (apparently based on a banned Calvin Klein ad) thoroughly amuses, catering to George’s theater and performance art leanings (not sure about that NSFW rating though)…

For the sake of helping out a friend, I won’t include an mp3 of the song here–visit his MySpace page or the Twin Shadow website and you can download the track for the low low price of your email address. Like Martha says: “It’s a good thing.”

Really, really excited to hear the studio version of this track, after having spent most of my Summer with the “Morning Becomes Eclectic” version and feeling for the tall guy as he suddenly gets all self-conscious (and who wouldn’t?) while singing his big “WHOA-OH-OOOAHHHH!” live on Conan. Who knows if this version will be the one to make it onto the album, and really, if the live one wasn’t so quiet that the song after it on mixes always makes ones eardrums bleed, then really it would be good enough for the album too.

Anyway, the album, Veckatimest comes out May 26 on Warp Record
