HOOK & THE TWIN are Marcus Efstratiou and Tom Havelock. Having had two previous singles championed by the likes of Zane Lowe, Rob Da Bank, Steve Lamacq, The Independent and Drowned in Sound, they are set to release new single TRIBES on September 12th as a free download.

TRIBES is the first single from their forthcoming 10-track debut album, to be released early 2012.

Recorded underneath a Nigerian ministry complex with Andy Ramsay (Stereolab), and mixed by rising producer Jim Anderson (Anna Calvi, Cold Specks), the album conjures an English alt.pop landscape that is by turns spectral and anthemic – an exhilarating and multi-layered affair to be filed alongside recent landmark offerings by Metronomy and Yeasayer.

Joining Marcus and Tom for live dates will be multi-instrumentalist Peter Roberts from doom-soul troupe Cold Specks.

The TRIBES single launch night takes place on Tuesday September 13^th in London, at The Lexington, Pentonville Rd.
