Staff Picks: Top Albums of 2013 #20 Posted: 30 Dec 2013 02:30 AM PST   Artist: Hook & The Twin Release: Never Ever Ever Label: Dancing Coins Release Date: June 2013 Picked by: Victor Conradsson – Training Officer Ah… one can get immune to standardised pop music, barely good enough to cover the sounds of washing machines in launderettes, but this pop will pop through you no matter what, and make your launderette erm… beautiful. Catchy hooks, heartfelt lyrics, frenzied rhythms, clever production recalling the innovations of kraut-rock and the current productions of James Murphy, Bot’Ox and Joakim, and yet manages not to sound nu-ravey. More adventurous than Phoenix, more energetic than Metronomy, and ruder than The Chap (ha.), both Hook & the Twin deserve to be heard. - Victor Conradsson
