Jackal Twins are a three-piece band from New England who describe their music as "psychedelic noisy tunes for the hopeless romantic." Their debut full-length record, Cuzco, is out now on all streaming platforms โ a heavy, beautiful, and chaotic journey where every detail has been carefully crafted, from the soundscape to the lyrics to the visuals.Cuzco was recorded and mixed at the legendary GodCity Studio by Kurt Ballou and Zach Weeks โ so needless to say, it sounds phenomenal.I had a great time talking with Mike, Dante, and Ben about how Jackal Twins came together and how they built the vision behind this project. Definitely give Cuzco a listen and keep an eye out for them live โ theyโre just getting started.If youโre enjoying the show, hit like, leaving a rating, and subscribe for more!Episode links:https://www.instagram.com/jackaltwinshttps://www.instagram.com/bennytrussellhttps://www.instagram.com/dante.lamustahttps://www.instagram.com/caninecarcrashSign up for the Riff Tacos email list and join the Tacommunity!https://www.rifftacos.com/sign-upFollow Paul and Riff Tacos on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/paulmiskoโ โ โ โ https://www.instagram.com/rifftacos
