The pair had been making music from Cajun\/country to anarcho-folk under the radar and off the grid, living and working itinerantly. Twisted Teens came from a pandemic-induced burst of inspiration that drew them together to record, in suitably lo-fi fashion, at Caspian's New Orleans home. Their first album quickly became a modern classic of sticky, warm rock, bunching blues, folk, and punk into a raw and irresistible concoction. The duo came back strong in 2026 with Blame the Clown - instantly, enthusiastically cosigned Pitchfork and Paste - and then the equally acclaimed Florida Water Blues, an absurdist take on their wanderings around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir third magnetic and perfectly ragged album of 2026 is a saga of heartbreak and hidden triumph called The Holy Cross Tigers. The songs are anthems of longing, and myriad disappointments, fueled by everything from a brutal breakup to snitching ex-friends. Despite these woes, The Holy Cross Tigers has a sense of radiance, a feeling of reflected light pushing against the sadness. Instantly relatable, it feels like a few friends sharing the burdens of life with one another, the results strange and ecstatic because they are operating by their own rules. It is a blown-out transmission from the lip of heartbreak, a place where even the lucky have been and from which they have hopefully returned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Stalks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e When We First Met\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Be An Angel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Blue Rose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e I Spend My Time Crying\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Blue Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e I Bring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Look in the Mirror\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Lock and Key\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e Figure It Out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e Armed with a Vision\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e12\u003c\/span\u003e Every Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e13\u003c\/span\u003e Darker the Night Is the Brighter I See\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52369124557101,"sku":"TWISTED-TEENS-THE-HOLY-CROSS-TIGERS-MAROON-LP-5509","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/2910\/4685\/files\/4539911-3706398.jpg?v=1789429777","url":"https:\/\/shop.altpress.com\/products\/twisted-teens-holy-cross-tigers-lp-maroon-vinyl","provider":"Alternative Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
