Fraternal Twin, has announce their return, with their first album in over a decade. Halo Fell Forever, will drop on September 4, 2026. lead single “Solitude,” is also accompanied with music video directed by Ben Correa and produced by Nigel Truesdale, portraying the despondency of isolation as Tom Christie faces himself in hotel rooms, hallways, and within the song.

About the new song, group founder Tom Christie shares, “‘Solitude’ was a bit of a departure for me in terms of songwriting and riff writing, and a breakthrough in arranging. I started writing the song on my friend’s Fender VI and later reinterpreted it on my Jaguar in a completely different tuning. The lyrics are probably my most abstract and stream-of-consciousness, maybe exploring the process of learning to accept uncomfortable emotions like anxiety and dread. The main riff sounds almost psychedelic to me, and the whole song feels like a dream sequence that came from spending too much time alone in my room at night, ruminating and overthinking. Thankfully, I don’t experience that anymore.”

last month, the band released Skin Gets Hot (Deluxe), an expanded edition of Fraternal Twin’s debut record, complete with two new studio recordings tracked and mixed by producer Dan Howard (Victoryland, Forth Wanderers) at Chateau Grand in Brooklyn—a re-recording of the title track and one previously unreleased song—along with several cassette demos from the era.

Over their career, the band have played shows with Girlpool, Palm, Destroyer, Frankie Cosmos, Soccer Mommy, Vagabon, Horse Jumper of Love, Porches, and more

For the past several years, Tom Christie has been arranging an ever-twisting and shifting song of his own. Beginning in New York’s Hudson Valley, where he grew up, Tom fleshed out the songs that became the first Fraternal Twin album, Skin Gets Hot. Released quietly in the spring of 2015, the album passed from fan to fan and developed a cult reputation based on its uniquely intimate display of raw emotion.
