The track is currently #27 on Billboard\u2019s Alternative songs chart and it is also featured on Apple Music\u2019s Alternative radio station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Good\u2019 is the perfect example of the band\u2019s hallmark hybrid of indie and pop. It is hard to forget the chorus after just one listen and vocalist Cameron Walker-Wright certainly galvanises the melody even more. The result is a sexy, danceable aural treat, with even a bit of whistling included. It is a refreshing contribution musically, offering decent portions of pop melodies whilst still alluding to an indie crowd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TWIN XLs seven-track album \u2018How to Talk to Strangers\u2019 showcases more of the alternative pop sound the band has become known for. A personal highlight is \u2018Sunglasses\u2019, with its synth-pop backbone that showcases a wink to a more eighties pop sound. The band have stated an admiration towards electro-pop groups like CHVRCHES and The Cure. The album also includes \u2018Friends\u2019 which features the same energetic hooks as \u2018Good\u2019 \u2018How to Talk to Strangers\u2019 is out now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later this month the band will head out on tour with The Maine. The dates are mostly for the US, nevertheless their diaries also include live dates for 2020. In February next year, the trio will support neo-soul pop band Fitz and The Tantrums. Fingers crossed for some European dates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more information about TWIN XL online on their <a href=\"https:\/\/twinxl.band\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wearetwinxl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wearetwinxl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wearetwinxl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_16524\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QFcmOLavlQM?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"TWIN XL - Good\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/QFcmOLavlQM\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles based trio TWIN XL return with their new album &#8216;How to Talk to Strangers&#8217;.
