Toronto-based dreampop group, Twin Rains, consisting of the duo of producers and musicians Jay Merrow and Christine Stoesser, along with drummer Greg Smith, unveil their latest single, Laws of the Universe, which is a preview from the recording sessions of the band's anticipated third album.
The song showcases a rich and cinematic sonic landscape, notable for being the first example where Twin Rains have incorporated strings into their music, performed by Toronto musician Jessica Deutsch.
“Inspiration can come from anywhere,” Christine Stoesser explains. “The concept of this song was prompted by an episode of Succession, the one where Kendall speaks at his father’s funeral, saying basically: ‘Yeah we know he wasn’t a nice person—but look at what he accomplished.’ So one moment I’m watching TV and the next I’m in deep contemplation because I find this to be such a profound philosophical debate—what’s more important, your life and how you treat the people and places in it, or your legacy?”
