Twin Oaks | uk

Twin Oaks is an American dream pop and folk duo consisting of multi-instrumentalist Aaron Christopher and singer-songwriter Lauren Brown. The pair first began their collaborative efforts in 2009 with a few long-time high school friends before disbanding a year later, leaving all members in pursuit of their own creative efforts. Aaron began writing a batch of songs before starting up Twin Oaks with Lauren two years later.

The band released their first set of songs “Cellar” and “Not An Exit” on July 16, 2012 which quickly garnered attention from UK based webzine GoldFlakePaint just prior to their release. By November 27, 2012, Twin Oaks put out their self-released Not An Exit EP, a short collection of songs written and recorded in Lauren's apartment.

Their second mini-album "The Lion's Den" released on January 7, 2014 with its singles 'Liars & Thieves' and 'Constellation Lines'.

With influences ranging from Mazzy Star to Nick Drake to Leslie Feist and Fiona Apple, Twin Oaks constructs its sound composed mostly of quiet guitars, minimalistic keys, and patterns that are derived from modern folk and dream pop sounds. .
