Aug 29, 2025Longstanding fans can be assured that the Twins rock as hard as ever, just in a different way.

Aug 27, 2025Georgia’s bass tone, not only disgustingly good, is a storytelling tool: in one instance it’s slurring and drenched in gloopy, thick fuzz, and then in other pockets it snaps awake, crunchy and computerised, but alive like a robot driven on revenge. Amy experiments with classical operatic vocal wails on opener Glory, while elsewhere her vocals become like fight talk, are enunciated with the confident cries of the Supernova era.

Aug 27, 2025While there are moments where the concept of ‘Parasites and Butterflies’ is stronger than its execution, this is still a stellar outing for Nova Twins, once more establishing themselves as a vital and thrilling voice in the rock scene.

Aug 27, 2025The experimentation is there, yes, but this sees Nova Twins pushing themselves even further, incorporating even more, and doing anything to see what will fit. While the record’s highlights - ‘Soprano’, ‘Glory’, ‘Sandman’, and ‘Hummingbird’ - are attention-grabbing shooting stars, some songs here feel less dynamic.

Sep 3, 2025It’s also unfortunate that, for now at least, Nova Twins’ biggest rock influences seem to be the most basic nu-metal of the early 2000s. Occasionally, that makes for a catchy riff or two, but more often the result is a lot of heavy guitars that aren’t playing anything particularly memorable.
