The Twelves

Our friend The Twelves is no stranger to this site — we’ve posted their remixes of Asobi Seksu, M.I.A., Erlend Øye, NYPC, Kylie, Yelle and Theatre of Disco… and let’s not forget the most popular mixtape we’ve posted in recent times. So yeah, no strangers.

A step away from the remixes, the duo emailed us early last week two original tracks they’ve been shopping around. “When You Talk” and “Works For Me” are both top notch and the quality production we’ve come to expect from the Twelves — total pro work here. The 12′s Luciano qualified the tracks by stating, “the vocals were home-recorded (by us) so its not 100 percent.” But I gotta say I rather enjoy the vox as is and hope they don’t evolve too much from these demos.

Keep an eye out for new remixes of The BPA and The Virgins, which are both in the works. And let’s hope an original album isn’t too far in the future.
