Lone Twin at Corberry Press on Sunday Evening

--posted by Lisa Radon

Very quickly: I have never heard Lone Twin described accurately. Oh, sure I heard the best minds of my generation in Portland lauding their '04 performance in a way I rarely hear from jaded they. I heard about clouds and river water and melancholy and humor. There were stabbings at specifics.

At the beginning of the fest, if you'd asked me what do you really want to see, I would have said Lone Twin. But at the end of the week between the exhaustion and my typical anti- reaction to the hype, I was almost ready to blow off Lone Twin on Sunday night after nearly two complete festivals-worth of anticipation.
