Twin Tribes is a band that seems to have absorbed a lot of the stylistic elements of the '80s goth movement, particularly Sisters of Mercy and the early '80s period of The Cure (see Faith and Pornography). They have the dark vocals, the swirly guitars, mid-tempo bass and drum patterns, and even the shape of the melodies down cold. The songs have reverb oozing out of every pore it seems. The band does update the vintage goth sound to some extent through their synth lines on some of the tracks, though without deviating too much from their core idea. All that is to say that the band lays out all the familiar elements of the genre for everyone to enjoy. The extra oomph they bring to the table is the quality of the work they do. For those who enjoy, nay, seek the goth and darkwave sound, the work that the band creates very clearly belongs up with the classics of the genre.
