The Hawk

The Hawk by Bitter Birds

"Playing music together in various Austin Texas projects (Red Leaves, Bitter Birds), Mayberry and Luján have stuck to their latest format as a duo for Born Twins, experimenting with analog bass synth organ and sparse experimental guitar work. Their vocal style is just as important to the group’s current sound, with interwoven melodies and whimsical storytelling.  “
Fans of Sharon Van Etten, Blonde Redhead and their ilk will find enjoyment with the moody art rock of Born Twins, on tour from Austin Texas promoting their debut full length album.

“Born Twins features a couple of names that might be familiar to you – the latest musical incarnation of songwriters Singer Mayberry and David Lujan (Red Leaves, Bitter Birds). They’ve been in groups together since the early 2000’s, but Born Twins is their most recent endeavor, with Mayberry taking the lead on guitar and vocals. 

“Born Twins” is a reference to Philip K Dick‘s early-’70s existential exploration of reality and personal identity, A Scanner Darkly, in which the main character becomes aware of his mind being two distinct halves, processing information separately at the same time. For Lujan and Mayberry, Born Twins is their immersion into the fluidity of their music – moving back and forth, the journey onward while simultaneously embracing earlier influences.” - Laurie Gallardo, KUTX98.9
