Twin Sister's Woozy "Bad Street" Is A Cool Song For A Hot Day

The Brooklyn quintet Twin Sister will release their first full-length In Heaven on September 27, but the first taste, the burbling, sugary "Bad Street," is tailor-made for a steamy day like today. Lead singer Andrea Estella sweetly asks for her paramour to feed her stories and promises over a synth line that's part Human League, part pitter-patter—when she says "I want it bad" over and over while the music simmers underneath, her infatuation is so audible it's almost dizziness-inducing. (Also, maybe it's just me, but I hear a bit of a callback to the intro for Neneh Cherry's "Kisses On The Wind" in the vocal looped underneath said declaration?) Clip after the jump.

Twin Sister headlines Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 18 as part of the Northside Festival; Allo Darlin', Ava Luna and Gabriel and the Hounds open.

great song, and certainly very cool, but how the hell is it 'woozy'!?  music criticism is so easy, you need like a 4 word vocabulary.

Actually I use thesaurus.com.

(No I don't. I'm kidding. But I had a very being-pulled-by-undertow reaction to this song! That's the beauty of music, I guess, is that so much of it is subjective.)
