Stream: Overdressed - Twinkids

Overdressed is the new single from LA's Twinkids. The self-labeled queer pop duo consist of Tokyo boxers Gene Fukui and Floridian Matt Young.

There is a gorgeously minimal electronic feel to this pop record - the softly layered synths are set against some baggy percussion and soulful falsetto vocals to create something that feels one part Californian, one part Balearic and just a bit Junior Boys.

Overdressed describes the early emotional swings that come in a new relationship, inspired by Gene's own life. Describing the track he says: "It's about that pendulum feeling at the beginning of a relationship - knowing he's the best when you're with him but then full of doubt when you're apart."

Look out for the Twinkids EP Boys Love, due on 18 August via Om Records.

'Overdressed' is the first single from the TWINKIDS' debut release on Om Records 'Boys Love' to be released August 18, 2017. This song chronicles the uncertainty and distrust in a young relationship, the feeling of betrayal in conflict with insatiable attraction. The song’s poppy verse explodes into a full-fledged four-on-the-floor chorus as the singer asks “Is it crystal or plastic?” Lyrics: VERSE 1 Hold you with covetous hands My endless rants, baby they’re homemade Invited to your careful masquerade Maybe baby I’m going insane You leave me with a smile on your face a stain in my mouth, you’re making me feel you show me your teeth, you got some nerve Captivated, oh I can’t move PRECH Blinding me, hardly see all your lying, your loving distracts me Fell in love and it comes with a price, all your loving, it distracts me CHORUS: Is it crystal or plastic? Overdressed and under-loved, it quivers, that bug in your lip, baby I love you deeply you’re a lie to me VERSE 2 Hold you and your thready claims they rip easy, baby even in your haze should I keep you and live in your charade? maybe baby I’ll just go insane You leave me with a smile on your face you’re dressed up for me, always talking me to stay you show me your teeth, you got some nerve captivated, oh I can’t move © & ℗ 2017 Om Records Published by Copyright Control (BMI)
