My Review: TWIN ION ENGINE - SKINWALKER

 TWIN ION ENGINE - SKINWALKER

The sea of thoughts finds landfall, with a dense dialogue, within the walls of San Diego, the city that seems unstoppable in generating sons devoted to quality music.

Such is the case with TWIN ION ENGINE, a duo that returns to the release of their enchanting music with this single, a demonstration of strength, class and their confirmed and distinct intention to sound more European than American.

Capable of creating an imagery of sadness in a rapture that leads them to run with pictures of Coldwave kissing Post-Punk on their skin, the song is a tale in which an addiction crumples life, with the ability however to give it rhythm, to make it dance and perhaps to lengthen its breath. 

If you pay attention, you will certainly not miss the fact that the singing seems to come from the huge Russian workshop, the good, musical one. With a bass like that and guitars that hum without a moment's pause, we find ourselves inside flows of continuous hypnosis, which does not relax but rather agitates the nerves in a moving way, with the merit of making us enthusiastic, even if inside a neurotic and sad cloak. 

A layered track, alternating instruments, it keeps the voice under the covers, in a whispered reverberation, while outside, in the dancing night, these notes are waiting to make it perfect.

From San Diego that's it, the line goes back to your ability to enjoy a delirium that lasts four minutes and six seconds but, mind you, no problem because the REPEAT mode will start itself...
