Album Notes & Community Reviews
Kevin Barnes moves towards a more electronic, danceable sound on this colorful pop album. 'The Sunlandic Twins' is filled with catchy synths, drum machines, and eccentric lyrics. It is a transition point between their twee beginnings and the glam-funk of 'Hissing Fauna'.
