“Every song on the Voltaire Twins EP is synth pop heaven.”
– LA Music Blog
Originally a side project of sorts, twins Jaymes and Tegan Voltaire became the Voltaire Twins after winning the Triple J Unearthed Parklife competition in 2008 and receiving a personal invitation to support Ladytron. Fast forward a few years and with a single and EP release under their belt, the band has now toured Australia numerous times and played everywhere from CMJ in NYC to Laneway, Parklife, Groovin’ the Moo, and Summadayze. This March, Voltaire Twins will return to North America to perform at both SXSW and CMW. Dates and times are below.
Last fall, the indie/electric/disco foursome released the Romulus EP throughout Sydney and Brisbane. Australian critics describe the EP as “darker than the previous Cabin Fever EP with Lord of the Flies-esque themes of chaos and detachment from humanity in the wilderness.” Stream the EP here: download.themusebox.net/voltaire_twins
The lead track from the EP, "Animalia," has already been added to rotation on Triple J, FBI, and Radar Radio, and its accompanying music video, directed by Ben Young and David Le May, was recently awarded a Gold Award at the Australian Cinematography Awards. The video tells the dark, twisted tale of a taxidermist's latest acquisition - a pair of feathered twins. Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw4vS9pqt1k

In an effort to step towards a bigger, more textural sound, the release of the Romulus EP also saw French nu-disco legend Lifelike, Sydney party-starters Purple Sneakers DJs, and Munich-based genre crusher Moullinex all contributing remixes. You can check out the remixes here: http://www.soundcloud.com/voltairetwins (approved to embed and post). Fans can also “like” Voltaire Twins on Facebook and receive a code to download the single and remixes for free.
Voltaire Twins is singer/synth-players Jaymes and Tegan Voltaire, synth/samples-player/percussionist Jack Doepel, and drummer/producer Matt Gio. For a taste of Voltaire Twins live, check out a recording of “Animalia” live in Perth earlier last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lve0O6YZqQ
