(2017) Twin Bandit - Full Circle


Review:
Hannah Walker and Jamie Elliott, better known as Vancouver based duo Twin Bandit, have returned with their sophomore album Full Circle, via Nettwerk Records.
…Imagine two identically attired Emmylou Harris’ with beautiful individual voices, harmonizing so closely that you would struggle to squeeze a sheet of graphene between them, delivering achingly pretty, original songs of love, loss, heartbreak and the attendant universal emotions. That is pretty much in a nutshell what Walker and Elliott do, and while neither twins or related they certainly possess that unearthly, near-telepathic skill with vocal harmonies that is usually associated with siblings. Set against the sweetest, delicate, acoustic folk-pop melodies, it is a blissful sound.
Their debut, For You is a gorgeous album of songs boasting quiet power, and despite original plans to record a stark acoustic follow up, Full Circle picks up where the quality of that debut left off, with eleven songs (two co-composed with Nashville songwriter Neil Mason) that present a slightly more upbeat overall sound – but only slightly. The harmonies are just as uncannily tight, the melodies just as warm, and although both Walker and Elliott were dealing with emotional challenges during the recording of Full Circle, which is evident in some of the lyrics, it is a collection of songs that radiate energy and hope.
