    By attempting chillwave haze, Scando-Balearic sunlight, shoegaze and taut inoffensive grooves, Twin Sister are certainly en vogue, but also utterly inept. [Oct 2011, p.100]

    The hooks on this are unbelievably good. The first listen may strike many listeners as slow, but once you get into it, this is it. Best albumThe hooks on this are unbelievably good. The first listen may strike many listeners as slow, but once you get into it, this is it. Best album released in 2011, by FAR. If you have a bit of patience, this will hit you with a lasting permanence most indie records can't provide these days. I'm surprised to not see this on more end-year lists.

All of the band members are locked in, and when the hooks aren't catchy they still maintain a decent groove.

While In Heaven isOn their last release, Color Your Life EP, Twin Sister managed to deliver a diverse and interesting set of songs. While In Heaven is definitely more coherent (indie and dream pop dominate the album), it has little energy. There is no standout track such as All Around and Away We Go and most of the material feels tedious. Kimmi in a Rice Field saves the record â… Full Review »
