LIMERICK-based popsters Supermodel Twins are releasing their eagerly-anticipated album Raincloud Free next Friday.
The album is produced by Cranberries guitarist Noel Hogan. The quintet’s debut brims with three-minute pop songs that combine lyrics about love, lust and loneliness with infectious melodies, sinful harmonies and dramatic guitar crescendos. The album is released on Hogan’s own Gohan label,
Influenced by the likes of Weezer, Nada Surf and Jimmy Eat World, Supermodel Twins’ sound brims with moments of wry genius that owes much to the pop masterworks of The Beach Boys and Elvis Costello.
In 2008, the band started recording their debut album with Cranberries axe-man Noel Hogan at the helm. Now, almost two years later, they have emerged with their first full-length release. So far, the band has released two of the tracks to the public, both of which have received extensive treatment on national radio. The first single, Bruises released back in March, made single of the week’on Rick O’Shea’s lunchtime show. The second single, One Step Behind, also hit the airwaves in July, and was described by Hot Press as being “one step ahead of the rest”.
Supermodel Twins release Raincloud Free on October 29 with Irish dates to be announced shortly.
