Party of the Sun Reunites Past and Present on The Twin EP - 27 February 2026
Party of the Sun. The Twin EP
Party of the Sun releases The Twin EP, available February 27, 2026 on digital formats via Trailing Twelve.
New Hampshire–based psychedelic folk trio Party of the Sun returns with The Twin EP, a five-song release shaped as a single, continuous emotional arc. Out February 27, 2026 via Trailing Twelve Records, the EP gathers years of songwriting into one uninterrupted listening experience - patient, tactile, and grounded in restraint.
Recorded in the band’s Swanzey, NH studio as a largely live performance with minimal overdubs, The Twin favors feel over polish. Bodhrán, slide guitar, and finger-plucked steel string form the record’s spine, with space and silence carrying as much weight as melody. The result feels weathered but immediate: songs refined by time, captured before they could be overworked.
The Twin EP reflects Party of the Sun’s continued commitment to poetics, tone, and the slow, deliberate making of art - music meant to be experienced front to back rather than pulled apart.
