Saint Paul, Minnesota’s American Cream Band surprises with an inimitable mix of punk funk, art rock, mutant disco, new wave, kraut, noise, and psych. Their new album Twin thrives on tension and release, turning the idea of duality into its guiding principle. Across an A-side built for movement and a more reflective B-side, contrasting female-male chants spark against a backdrop of repetition, groove, and invention.
The ten songs shift in tempo, between dancefloor momentum and hypnotic dreams, but always with an imaginative saxophone to keep listeners on their toes. Richly layered throughout, it turns friction and instability into something unexpectedly beautiful and exciting. It’s is an expansive vision that turns diversity into connection with heart, depth, and purpose.
Twin is out digitally and on vinyl LP through Quindi Records. Featuring Liz Buhmann (vocals, percussion, drum machine), Nathan Nelson (vocals,synths), Alex Meffert (sax), Andy Rockwood (guitars), Jesse Kwakenat (bass), Birdy (keys), Alex Achen (percussion, vocals), Mat Heinrich (drums), Adam Patterson (percussion, piano), Joe Berns (synths), Ivy W.W.
