Straight To Your Heart

Twin Shadow “Five Seconds”

“Five Seconds” compresses a lot of emotion, lust and fear with such urgency that it all just sort of tumbles out haphazardly because there’s just not enough time for it to come out “right.” George Lewis Jr.’s voice is great in this, approaching a similar balance of fevered sexual intensity and low key intimacy as Dan Boechner in his Handsome Furs material. The drama is at a perfect pitch, and the momentum of the song keeps you in this brief moment while extending it to unpack all these fine nuances, like a snippet of time you keep replaying in your head.
