Quick Hit Band Interview: Twin Oaks

Twin Oaks at The Satellite

Interview with the band. Enjoy:

How would you describe your music? Though there are quite a few heavy influences that can be found in how we write, we like to draw things out from quietly plucked guitars to layered electronics to the hazy dream pop sounds and dynamically driven post-rock. 

What inspires you to write/compose your songs? We often try to write what comes to us naturally, which is often tied to personal experiences that we hope people can find some sort of connection to and maybe find their own interpretations of the songs. The musical textures often come from old lo-fi tape aesthetics and audio degradation while playing from quiet folk-style guitar stuff. Sonically, we like to draw out the feeling of open spaces whether it be wandering through an empty house, passing by a desert field, or a late night drive through downtown streets. There are loads of modern inspirations like Daughter, Frightened Rabbit, Boards of Canada, The National, & Sigur Ros . . . but also Carole King, Nina Simone, Nick Drake, & Judy Collins.
