A Hound at the Hem
“Slim Twig comes over like an intriguing cultural cross between John Waters, Vincent Price, and Gene Pitney—high-minded, campy, and playful enough to draw us into his surreal world of rockabilly blues and horror. His latest, originally released in a small run on his own imprint and now picked up by DFA, has been framed as a bizarro interpretation of Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson.”
Derelict Dialect
“Two EPs from this theatrically-inclined Toronto musician/actor-- he starred opposite a pre-Juno Ellen Page in the 2007 film The Tracey Fragments-- show his desire to cultivate a persona and extract an enduring mythology from it, as he brings to mind kindred spirits like Nick Cave, Lou Reed, and Suicide.”
Thank You For Stickin' With Twig
“Over the course of five albums, Toronto-born Max Turnbull has fashioned himself an outsider narrative as Slim Twig. For all his off-kilter aims—his desire to emulate and kill his idols (audibly Zappa, Beefheart, the Zombies) paired with a love of classic melodies and psychedelic murk—his frustrating new collection fits into a number of timely pop cultural concerns.”
