Mr Twin Sister
Acerca de Mr Twin Sister
A group dedicated to transforming itself, Mr Twin Sister -- formerly known as Twin Sister -- evolved from a mischievous indie pop outfit into a band capable of blending disco, techno, dream pop, jazz, and more into sultry, ambitious albums that included 2014's self-titled debut.
The group's first incarnation, Twin Sister, formed in 2008, when Andrea Estella -- a vocalist who grew up listening to the B-52s, Talking Heads, and Björk -- and her longtime friend bassist Gabe D'Amico joined forces with drummer Bryan Ujueta, keyboardist Dev Gupta, and guitarist/vocalist Eric Cardona, all of whom they met in Long Island, New York's music scene. Their first EP, Vampires with Dreaming Kids, was self-released that year on their Infinite Best label. After tours with tUnE-yArDs and Xiu Xiu, the band released its second EP, Color Your Life, in 2010 (in 2012, Kendrick Lamar sampled the Color Your Life song "Meet the Frownies" for his Dr. Dre collaboration "The Recipe").
The following year, Twin Sister signed to Domino Records and issued their debut album, In Heaven, that September. Despite the acclaim the album earned, the band wasn't entirely happy with the album, and left Domino in 2013. During this time, Twin Sister suffered other hardships, including Estella's multiple sclerosis diagnosis and a car crash while on tour in Tallahassee, Florida that left them lucky to be alive. Additionally, a potential legal dispute with a '70s rock band named Twin Sisters and a Christian educational music organization of the same name led the group to rename itself Mr Twin Sister.
The new name was part of a complete reinvention. After taking time to recover from the injuries they sustained in the collision, the members of Mr Twin Sister recorded their second album with producer Jon Low and members of Ava Luna. Spanning funk, disco, house, jazz, and techno, Mr Twin Sister's sprawling self-titled album arrived in September 2014 on the band's Twin Group label. Two years later, the band issued "Poor Relations" as a single to benefit the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's efforts to block the Dakota Access Pipeline. In 2018, Mr Twin Sister returned with the non-album single Power of Two/Echo Arms in July. That October, the band -- which consisted of Estella, D'Amico, Gupta, and Cardona -- issued its second full-length, Salt, a smoothly funky set of songs exploring politics, spirituality, and different forms of identity. ~ Heather Phares
