For the past several years, Tom Christie has been arranging an ever-twisting and shifting song of his own. Beginning in upstate New York where he grew up, Tom fleshed out the soft and intricate songs that became the first Fraternal Twin album Skin Gets Hot. Released quietly in the spring of 2015, the album passed from fan to fan and developed a cult reputation based on its uniquely intimate display of raw emotion. 
Their sophomore album Homeworlding is an impressively natural progression from their debut. Fleetwood Mac-indebted pop songs, Tom Verlaine-esque guitar leads, ambient composition and watery folk songs quickly pass by in a way that demands repeat listens in order to fully comprehend the depth of the lyrics and songwriting. And while these components all seem disparate on paper, they’re tied together by a very specific sensibility. 
Fraternal Twin reappears in 2022 with Cloudsong, a short collection of songs recorded at home in lockdown, 2020. A return to both the unhinged moodiness of Skin Gets Hot and the melodic polish of Homeworlding, Cloudsong is at once entirely new yet undeniably familiar for Fraternal Twin.
