In 2016, Reader critic Peter Margasak praised the “astonishing growth” and “cool, agile sound” of boundary-pushing local jazz trio Twin Talk, aka reedist Dustin Laurenzi, drummer Andrew Green, and bassist-vocalist Katie Ernst. On Friday, February 8, Twin Talk drop their third record, Weaver, via artists’ collective and online platform People, founded in 2018 by members of the National and Bon Iver. Weaver is full of graceful moments, and Gossip Wolf especially likes the loping rhythms and windswept melodies of “The Sky Never Ends,” which features Ernst’s lovely wordless vocals. On Sunday, February 10, Twin Talk celebrate the album’s release at the Hideout after an opening set from the Twin Cities trio of Mike Lewis, JT Bates, and Jeremy Ylvisaker.
