'Instead of writing a song from the perspective of somebody who had their heart broken by being cheated on, this song is about being the cheater' okay I'm listening. twinkidsmusic
are the LA indie-pop duo of Gene Fukui and Matt Young. Fukui and Young aren't technically twins, but both artists — hailing from Tokyo and Florida respectively — share a love of Japanese culture and unapologetic queerness that defines their music.
The pair, who formed Twinkids while in school at Oberlin College, refurbish the gay term"twink," and their debut EPsees them spill their hearts with vulnerable lyrics about queer relationships, over delicate but hyper-danceable, 70s and 80's J-pop-inspired tracks. Plus, a killer cover of singer-songwriter Kazumasa Oda's classic,"Love Story Wa Totsuzen Ni."
Their sound always has a distinctly retro tint, whether its evoking 1975 Tokyo or suburban American playlists from the '00s, loaded with Grouplove, Young the Giant, and Matt and Kim, who the band recently toured with., on which they pull a Robyn: contrasting their own lush synths, pretty harmonies and disco glitter, with brutal lyrics like"Oh I'm fuckin' with somebody else, cannot keep your love for me.
"Instead of writing a song from the perspective of somebody who had their heart broken by being cheated on, this song is about being the cheater," the duo tells."Doing something awful while not necessarily meaning to hurt somebody, and realizing how easy it is to hurt and manipulate someone.
