Jackal Twins create a lane of their own with their debut album Cuzco
Back when friends Ben Trussell and Mike Palumbo started playing together back in 2017, they wanted to experiment. Their ideas leaned on the heavy side of the sonic spectrum. With Trussell on drums and vocals and Palumbo on guitars and vocals, the duo quickly became aware of their connection, writing almost an entire record within months. As Jackal Twins, they were joined by bassist Dante Lamusta in 2019.
The band’s chemistry is obvious on Cuzco. The band describes their music as “psychedelic noisy tunes for the hopeless romantic.” It’s a sonic punch to the gut–touching on mathcore, jazz, noise, metal and punk. “The album is meant to be experienced as a whole, as no one song really captures our sound,” the band says. Somehow they balance rage and fear, disappointment and intensity.
