Info for Full Circle

Hannah Walker and Jamie Elliott, better known as Vancouver based Indie-Folk duo Twin Bandit, have returned with their sophomore album Full Circle, via Nettwerk Records. “In the time leading up to this album we’ve lost loved ones, battled with mental health and certainly experienced some good ol’ fashioned heartache,” says Hannah. “Yet, no matter how wonderful or difficult our lives may be, we want our music to portray a message of hope. So here we are, participating in the life-giving circle of human emotion, connection and experience. Our music through this album is our offering, and we hope it will bring inspiration to those who hear it.” The full-length is now available to stream on Northern Transmissions. Twin Bandit continue their tour, tonight in Canora, SK.

“Music has been catharsis for the soul with Jamie and I. Life is a battle and the music of Full Circle is our story and message. We wanted to touch on the universality of loss and doubt with a reminder to keep practicing gratitude in the face of it all. There’s always another day, and another opportunity to create beauty in this world and that’s what we’re trying to accomplish with our project!”

Twin Bandit

Twin Bandit
have garnered over 10 million streams worldwide, becoming perennials at Spotify playlists such as Acoustic Covers, Acoustic Spring, The Pulse of Americana, Happy Folk and more. Their debut album For You received critical acclaim at press, from outlets such as The Bluegrass Situation, Folk Alley, Exclaim!, The Province, Georgia Straight and more. Throughout 2016 the girls toured Europe and North America, headlining shows and festivals and sharing the stage with label-mates The Paper Kites and Joshua Hyslop.

Life and art both move in cycles. While working on their second full-length album, the aptly titled Full Circle [NETTWERK], Twin Bandit grew personally and creatively amidst life’s unpredictable ebb and flow. Throughout that experience, the Vancouver-based duo—Hannah Walker and Jamie Elliot—progressed as songwriters and musicians, delicately expanding their sonic palette of folk, alternative, and country and opened up lyrically like never before.

“The concept of a full circle spoke to us,” admits Hannah. “When we started writing, Jamie and I were in not in very good places. Jamie was dealing with mental health issues. I was struggling with depression and the loss of family members and friends. There were a lot of funerals at the time. We sat down and made a decision to write music that’s positive and encouraging. When you focus on practicing positivity and gratitude, it can really change your outlook. Even though we began in a tough place, it was an exciting and beautiful experience. Everything came back around. We acknowledge that it will be difficult again down the road, but there’s always another day to keep trying.”

In order to assemble what would become the follow-up to 2015’s For You, the girls made a series of writing trips and, for the first time, invited other writers into their creative ecosystem. In Nashville, they co-wrote with Neil Mason [Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert]. Meanwhile, they decamped to Salt Springs Island and Jamaica where more songs were born. Simultaneously, the subject matter reflected the moment.

“We wrote every song on our first album in the same house together,” explains Hannah. “This was quite a different process, but it was really inspiring.”

“It was very different,” agrees Jamie. “On the first record, I was writing a lot of love songs. Not to discredit love songs, but we were in another headspace altogether. The lyrics on Full Circle address subjects like dealing with your own issues, growing, and maturing.”

This album contains no booklet.
