With its gorgeous strings, ambient droning, and sparse piano, instrumental opener “The Storm” is a perfect tone setter for Oka Sun’s debut album Twin Flame. A record that feels almost understated in its delicate beauty at times, and like a grand, sweeping cinematic landscape at others, Twin Flame is a wonderful listen. The first three tracks proper that follow “The Storm” are a killer run of tunes and the record never dips in quality from there. “You Won’t Find It” stands out for its catchy melodies and call-you-on-your-shit lyrics like “all my days / all my working / all the things that I could be / all my nights / all my drinking / all the thoughts that frighten me.” On side B, the relative musical simplicity of “Brother’s Song” gives it a light, beautiful feel. It sticks out as a quieter moment on the record, especially next to the intense four minutes of building up the band from a lone synth to one of the heavier moments on the record in “Branches” (although it’s the closing title track where things really soar into the stratosphere). With its swirling soundscapes and breezy melodies, Twin Flame is an incredibly easy record to get lost in, and I’ve had it on repeat for the past few months. - The Alternative
