Twin Sister started turning heads with last year’s Color Your Life, an EP that showed the Brooklyn group to be master dance-pop makers. On September 27, the quintet is set to release their full-length debut, In Heaven, which is already shaping up to be a big splash.

At the heart of the group is singer Andrea Estella, a Long Island native who relocated to Brooklyn for the group. Her breathy voice immediately draws the listener in, especially on Color Your Life highlight (and perfect descriptor) “Lady Daydream.” Stylistically, the band draws from that golden era of pop music in the 1970s where disco, new wave, and world music all collided. Guitarist Eric Cardona is Twin Sister’s secret weapon, coloring each song with inventive melodic phrases that stick in your head as much as Estella’s melodies.

In Heaven is picking up plenty of buzz thanks to first single “Bad Street.” It shows off a funkier direction for the group, but still imbued with that dreamy atmosphere that makes Twin Sister a must-listen. And you can take a listen to “Bad Street” below.
