I've been a fan of Zollie Maynard, one half of The Cinema Twin, since high school. To be fair, we went to high school in the same town and he had a really great band that played all over. After high school, he and the band moved to Atlanta where they were known as the Sightseers and signed to Brendan O'Brien's Shotput record label. The band recorded a few records and then broke up. Zollie moved to New York, got his degree and landed in Brooklyn. That was where he reconnected with Jason Chimonides, an acquaintance from home, and The Cinema Twin was born. When they released their first single "Red Gtr." it caught the ear of Robin Guthrie from the Cocteau Twins (ahem, one of my favorite bands of all time) and Robin liked what he heard so much that he started working with the band. What resulted is an intricately layered melodic and sweet song that makes me feel happy and warm inside. The three song single Red Gtr. is available via iTunes and features "Red Gtr.," "Sun Doesn't Know" and "Red Gtr. (Robin Guthrie version)." Get it now!
