Post Description
Twin Freaks is a collaborative album by musician Paul McCartney with DJ and producer
Freelance Hellraiser (Roy Kerry). The album was released on June 14, 2005.
McCartney and Kerry created the double vinyl album as a continuation of Kerry"s
collaboration with McCartney from a 2004 tour. Kerry had previously released the mashup
album A Stroke of Genius, in 2002. The format of the mashup is that of an extreme remix
in which two disparate musical and recording experiences are combined in a manner that
goes beyond remix to literally merge or mashup the two songs so that they emerge as
something unique or hybridized. The technique sometimes obscures the original source
material or so seamlessly blends the divergent elements that disentangling the grafted
parts becomes nearly impossible.
Kerry performed a half hour set prior to McCartney"s 2004 gigs in which the Kerry
remixed various McCartney tracks into unusual and often unrecognizable forms. Twin Freaks
was the outgrowth of these manipulations.
All McCartney tracks are strongly revised and reinvented in the process. Who is responsible
for what aspects of the works or their reinvention is unclear. Certainly parts of basic
McCartney tracks are vigorously reworked.
The album was only produced as a double vinyl release. The cover and interior artwork
features paintings that are similar in tone and style to artist Willem de Kooning.
McCartney knew the late artist, with whom he shared similar painting styles.
"Really Love You" and "Lalula" were also released together as a one-sided 12" single.
