Twins is quite the creator. The London-based musician is adding art to the world in more ways than just music. Twins is also a tattoo artist and visual artist, known as Loz KeyStone. After a period of deep personal reflection, Twins created the record Caravan. Rock the Pigeon is proud to share that record with our following today.
The record opens with a strong introduction to twins’ artistry on the song “Avoidance”. Warm acoustic guitars in open tuning are gently finger-picked, lying beneath a mellow vocal that feels as if twins is right there in the room with you. The song builds after the 1:40 mark, when a slide guitar drenched in reverb and a bright, clean tone sweeps in, intertwining with vocals that suddenly become more processed. The track begins to lean into the experimental, giving listeners a taste of what’s to come on the rest of the record. It’s a strong introduction, one that the listener could get completely lost in.
Next up is “Feel Your Phone.” This time, the warm acoustic guitars are strummed, running through an app that adds an experimental edge to the production and makes the track stand out. Twins delivers a melody that’s instantly contagious, catchy, clever, and conversational. It’s packed with honesty and rawness. Among his excellent lyricism, he sings the profound line, “I think it’s feeling that makes us free.” The vocals carry an echoing delay effect, enhancing the experimental vibe. A tasteful guitar solo enters in the song’s midsection, and the vocals continue to build, adding more and more energy as the track progresses.
“Dust” unfolds as a layered and dynamic experimental composition that merges flowing guitars, metallic drum machine rhythms, and mournful strings with glitches, static, and feedback woven seamlessly into the mix. A palm-muted guitar pattern drives the rhythm, while twins reveals a new side of his vocal range, eerier and more haunting here, especially when doubled for heightened impact. The track carries an overwhelming sense of emotion, with experimental synths, resembling drifting flutes, adding depth and highlighting the strength of the production. “This is a tiny life and I don’t mind,” he sings, followed later by the piercing line “Love me less and give me more.” Together, these moments capture the song’s powerful essence and solidify it as a standout track on the record.
The record closes with “Here, Away.” Returning to the organic sound of a gently picked acoustic guitar beneath a laid-back vocal delivery, the track feels unpolished in the best way, raw and alive. Though it carries subtle experimental touches, its core is steeped in vulnerability and closeness, the kind that can’t be manufactured. Twins confesses: “Gave every bit of myself away, while the skin of my palms turned black from pushing my heart away.” This live version of the song showcases a bit of twins’ process and fantastic guitar playing.
