Fauna Twin - The Hydra EP

12" EP / Digital
Out 21 October
 

Fauna Twin—the latest, exciting addition to the Crammed roster— are Parisian singer-songwriter Claire Jacquemard & North Wales’ Owain Ginsberg (leader of “Hippies Vs Ghosts” and “We Are Animal”). Their debut EP, the epic “The HYDRA EP”, will be out in October with a string of shows around Europe. Fauna Twin’s debut album is scheduled for release in 2017.

This is how Fauna Twin describe their own music: “our influences are a massive tornado of different styles, from Queen to King Crimson, crossing by PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple via R. Stevie Moore to Radiohead. This leads us to a chameleon church with no god, where we commit everyday. Fauna Twin’s music turns into a kind of hybrid shoegazish-drama-pop with a special appeal for textures, structures and constructed rhythm sections.”


LIVE DATES:

04/11/2016 — (FR) Paris, FGO Barbara
01/12/2016 — (BE) Antwerpen, Trix
08/12/2016 — (BE) Brussels, Le Brass
