TWIN STRANGERS

CRUSHED

I was recently informed that much of my music collection conjures up the notion of a melancholy summer and perhaps the most melancholisest of the summers we can expect is the one in this, the year 2020.

I will confess I find something intangibly addictive in the sorts of upbeat, but slightly saddening tunes out there… maybe it’s because I’m old enough to experience nostalgia, maybe it’s because I do long for particular summers of scallywag behaviour and these tunes take me back, who knows?

Hitting the nail on the head however is the Welsh band Twin Strangers, a recent five-piece creation, the brainchild of which is Alex McConnachie, of the McConnachie clan, a multi-instrumentalist who started Twin Strangers as a bedroom project before enlisting musical friends, bassist Josh Newington, Joe Tobin on
keyboards, drummer Eric Karvik. and Alex’ brother Liam (of Seaside Witch Coven)

Their latest single Crushed is has been released today, the 15th of this month and is a concentrated dose of the highest quality melancholy summer orientated psychedelia infused indie-punk-pop. The second the bass led little numba’ starts the listener is hooked, it has been created with a perfect measurement of all ingredients, from the cheeky guitar lick to the easily memorisable lyrics and relatable subject matter.

It’s a dreamy tune, the likes Audrey Horne could be seen swaying too. Talking of the track, Alex says:

“Crushed is about realising that some people you know just love listening to the sound of their
own voice and other people’s troubles and feelings and life troubles only really enter their mind for
a split second, then they’re gone again. On a more positive note it’s also about summer time when

you’re a teenager, the days blend into one and you’re just hanging out with your friends without a
care in the world, just living in the moment.”

It’s a tune that’s perfectly not-long-ago, thus giving it tons of replay value, it’s happy but sad, serious but jovial, the type of track that would have suited 90210 or The O.C (if you’re old enough to remember that!)

It’s polished and pristine without loss of grit, something I believe is very important in music. It nods politely to American college radio type bands like Ride, with the relatable lyrics of Sonny & The Sunsets or The Burning Hell, all served up in a recipe followed, instructions read, hook-heavy, correct dose of produced perfection we expect from bands like The Dowling Poole or LCD Soundsystem. You can hear it here:

The tune itself is already picking up radio attention and critical acclaim through the Welsh music world, but now that you’ve heard from The Shonk you can feel confident that they are one to watch and most certainly one to listen! You can hear their last single Tears of Joy here: This track is a nod towards Wooden Shjips, David Holmes and Pavement, if nothing else it emphasises the band’s diverse range and influences.

We look forward to being able to see them live which at this rate might be via Zoom – Alex (and indeed his whole family) regularly perform online via Facebook streams so if you are gagging for a gig that might be a solution for you!

I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

  267. I appreciate this video. After reading S. Harvey’s series of books on strategies that work I realize how important it is to teach our students how to connect reading and writing (especially when our understanding breaks down). However, very few teachers truly model what they ask their students to do! You have done this for us and have shown us that even when we are excellent readers and writers that we can still improve when using the same strategies that we teach our kids! Reflective essay definition: “Reflective writing is a practice of analyzing a situation from a perspective that may differ from the viewpoint of the audience. Reflective writing entails the process of collecting data, organizing and synthesizing the gathered data, and expressing a personal opinion about the collected data and opinion.” Reflection on one’s experiences is reflected in one’s writing.

    The thesis of an essay is a one- or two-sentence summary of the argument you’ll defend for the rest of your essay. Your thesis should not simply restate the issue or explain both sides. It should be a clear statement that leaves no question about your position and serves as the backbone for your entire essay. A strongly written thesis should be able to stand on its own as an elevator pitch. When done properly, argumentative essays can be a powerful tool to convince others of your point of view. So if you are stressed about writing an argumentative essay or just want to hone your skills and learn more about them, seeing sample argumentative essays and analyzing argumentative essay examples can be of big help. A conclusion aims at showcasing your prowess in essay writing. Now that you know how to write a conclusion to an argumentative essay, it does not mean you can write one fast.
