Music Monday

....was yesterday. Regardless of our broken e-timepiece, check out this week's Song of the Week from Brooklyn's own Twin Shadow. Essentially a solo project from Bushwick's George Lewis Jr. for the time being, Lewis' music can easily be filed in the new-80's drawer of your musical card catalog, but don't dis and dismiss. It's got a great, smoothed out flow reminiscent of the best of Bowie. Not anything to be sneezed at. Or gagged with a spoon?

If you like, visit his site. He's got another song from his upcoming record—out soon on Chris Taylor's (Grizzly Bear) Terrible Records—available for free download. And Lewis will be playing live with fellow Music Monday alumni, Sean Bones, August 17th at Mercury Lounge. And, on an unrelated note, Time Out New York evidently considers Lewis to be quite stylish. Cotton plimsolls, thumbs up! Rabbit foot necklace, thumbs down!

Thumbs up on the tunes still though. Check 'em.
