Queer pop duo TWINKIDS is pianist-producer Matthew Young & Tokyo-native singer-songwriter Jin Fukui. After meeting at Oberlin College and Conservatory in northeast Ohio, the two discovered a mutual reverence for electronic music and began writing, producing, and performing as one. They went on to study at the renowned Banff Centre in Canada under Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene. In 2017, TWINKIDS released their debut EP Boys Love on Om Records, w/ the EP title paying homage to the gay romance manga genre of the same name. Boys Love features the viral Spotify hit Overdressed, which has amassed over 6 million plays. The singles Jigoku Tengoku & I'm Sorry followed in 2018 w/ a national tour supporting Matt & Kim & press support from NYLON, THE FADER, Stereogum & OUT Magazine. In 2019 TWINKIDS released their second EP Lizard House w/ support from Billboard, Complex & more. The duo returned in 2020 w/ Feeling Small, a new single on Kitsuné Musique, and The Bends, a collaboration with indietronica artist The Chain Gang of 1974. 2020 was a year of introspection, and TWINKIDS channeled their pain into pop songs about self-doubt in their third body of work, Nobody Likes Me (due in April on Om Records). Nobody Likes Me is a seven-song journey through themes of self-loathing, self-esteem and self-love, and all the ugliness that comes w/ it. The album features the stand out first single I Know, a song about coming to terms w/ a relationship that just isn’t working anymore.
