Twin Danger

Noir jazz meets midnight blues in the music of Twin Danger an intriguing new group formed by Vanessa Bley and Stuart Matthewman, whose self titled, co-produced and co-written debut album is set for June 2015 release by Decca/Universal Music Classics.

Twin Danger updates a classic sound in a contemporary style with such captivating Bley/Matthewman originals as Pointless Satisfaction, Just Because, Sailor, and Coldest Kind of Heart. The album sessions also yielded one surprising cover song, a distinctively different interpretation of the hard rock track No One Knows by Queens of the Stone Age. The core of Twin Danger is Bley and Matthewman, however on-stage for their sultry live performances the band expands with a tight-knit outfit of five musicians.

As for the origin of the name Twin Danger, Vanessa Bley explains: It refers to the alter ego, the part of you that can be wild or irrational or even destructive but it s still a part of you and not accepting that is what makes it dangerous.

We re making music to get lost in. It s warm and beautiful but there are dark undercurrents revealing fundamental issues of the self. That s what makes it Twin Danger.
