Slim Twig
A Toronto icon-in-the-making, Slim Twig is already well known in indie circles for his clutch of avant-rockabilly EPs, his work as half of punk duo Tropics and a turn opposite Ellen Page in Bruce McDonald’s 2007 film The Tracey Fragments. The ever-mysterious pompadoured troubadour couples his stylishly crafted persona (Twig’s real name is a closely guarded secret) with his Suicide-drenched, art-damaged country tunes. Watch for samples – not guitars – to dominate his hotly anticipated full-length, due out early next year on Paper Bag.
