The pair had been making music from Cajun\/country to anarcho-folk under the radar and off the grid, living and working itinerantly. Twisted Teens came from a pandemic-induced burst of inspiration that drew them together to record, in suitably lo-fi fashion, at Caspian's New Orleans home. Their first album quickly became a modern classic of sticky, warm rock, bunching blues, folk, and punk into a raw and irresistible concoction. The duo came back strong in 2026 with Blame the Clown - instantly, enthusiastically cosigned Pitchfork and Paste - and then the equally acclaimed Florida Water Blues, an absurdist take on their wanderings around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir third magnetic and perfectly ragged album of 2026 is a saga of heartbreak and hidden triumph called The Holy Cross Tigers. The songs are anthems of longing, and myriad disappointments, fueled by everything from a brutal breakup to snitching ex-friends. Despite these woes, The Holy Cross Tigers has a sense of radiance, a feeling of reflected light pushing against the sadness. Instantly relatable, it feels like a few friends sharing the burdens of life with one another, the results strange and ecstatic because they are operating by their own rules. It is a blown-out transmission from the lip of heartbreak, a place where even the lucky have been and from which they have hopefully returned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT (AIMS ACCOUNT)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67934909104404,"sku":"275525","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/0491\/7101\/files\/c90b959fThe_20Holy_20Cross_20Tigers_20_28Maroon_20Vinyl_29_20098787175509_179b8489-28d9-4bb8-b1a5-5d6cc53ff684.jpg?v=1793295302","url":"https:\/\/yellowracketrecords.com\/products\/twisted-teens-the-holy-cross-tigers-cd","provider":"Yellow Racket Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
