Caspian Halliwell and RJ Santos arrived carrying a lifetime of itinerant musical wandering, from Cajun back roads to anarcho-folk margins, and the city left its fingerprints all over what became one of the more quietly essential debuts of recent memory. Holy Cross Tigers picks up that thread and keeps moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwisted Teens - aka Caspian Halliwell and RJ Santos - didn't really exist before it's 2024 debut LP, now known as The Orange Album. The pair had been making music from Cajun\/country to anarcho-folk under the radar and off the grid, living and working itinerantly. Twisted Teens came from a pandemic-induced burst of inspiration that drew them together to record, in suitably lo-fi fashion, at Caspian's New Orleans home. Their first album quickly became a modern classic of sticky, warm rock, bunching blues, folk, and punk into a raw and irresistible concoction. The duo came back strong in 2026 with Blame the Clown - instantly, enthusiastically cosigned Pitchfork and Paste - and then the equally acclaimed Florida Water Blues, an absurdist take on their wanderings around the world.Their third magnetic and perfectly ragged album of 2026 is a saga of heartbreak and hidden triumph called The Holy Cross Tigers. The songs are anthems of longing, and myriad disappointments, fueled by everything from a brutal breakup to snitching ex-friends. Despite these woes, The Holy Cross Tigers has a sense of radiance, a feeling of reflected light pushing against the sadness. Instantly relatable, it feels like a few friends sharing the burdens of life with one another, the results strange and ecstatic because they are operating by their own rules. It is a blown-out transmission from the lip of heartbreak, a place where even the lucky have been and from which they have hopefully returned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStalks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen We First Met\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe An Angel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Spend My Time Crying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Bring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook in the Mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock and Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure It Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmed with a Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarker the Night Is the Brighter I See\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 098787175523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sub Pop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.6.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49525520302235,"sku":"393559238","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/4539912-3706400.jpg?v=1789475207","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/twisted-teens-holy-cross-tigers-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
