Twine — ‘Sleeping Dogs’

Twine — ‘Sleeping Dogs’
Single
Kitty Records

‘Sleeping Dogs’ hits like a punch in the gut – a gritty, melancholic dive into the internal complications of coming home after time away. The alt-noise quintet know a thing or two about life on the road, and the rawness is evident in how lyrics spill out: “Just a tourist in your eyes / Always passing through.”

Fuzz-soaked guitars and Tom Katsaras’ quivering vocals explode when least expected, while Thea Martin’s violin slinks between the noise, adding sharp edges. It’s easy to feel swept up in ‘Sleeping Dogs’ — a song that feels like a breakdown and breakthrough simultaneously. Look out for Twine’s debut LP, New Old Horse, on December 6.

Sounds like: Being wrapped in a warm blanket.
