His stripped-down rendition shines a light on the New Orleans duo as they ready a third album this year.

  • In the Substack note Tweedy said he avoids imitating singers, explained he tried not to sound like Twisted Teens’ vocalist Caspian, and added that the song made him feel like a younger version of himself.
  • Twisted Teens have released two albums in 2026 and announced a third record called The Holy Cross Tigers, a rapid release schedule that has drawn more attention to the band this year.
