Indie-pop fans are in for a special night this fall when Twin Shadow joins Neon Trees at Chicago’s House of Blues on Monday, October 20, 2025. The show promises a vibrant mix of nostalgia and fresh creativity, as Twin Shadow brings his cinematic synth-driven sound to one of the city’s best venues.

Known offstage as George Lewis Jr., Twin Shadow has spent the past decade crafting music that sits somewhere between ‘80s new wave and emotional introspection. His latest single, “Half Asleep,” offers a dreamy preview of what’s next, serving as the lead-up to his upcoming seventh album, Cadet, due November 20 via Dom Recs.

“‘Half Asleep’ is about the one that got away,” Lewis explained in a statement. “It’s one of those songs where memory takes the wheel, and maybe those memories are more vivid and romantic than the reality ever was. The moments are gone, but the desire to reach out remains.”

The single’s lyric video mirrors that sentiment with hazy visuals and nostalgic dreamscapes, pulling listeners into a place where love and memory blur together. Inspired by bands like The Blue Nile, Twin Shadow captures that bittersweet space between connection and distance, something fans will undoubtedly feel when he takes the stage in Chicago.

The new album Cadet marks a sonic shift from Georgie, his intimate and deeply personal sixth album released earlier this year and dedicated to his late father. While Georgie leaned into acoustic textures and reflection, Cadet returns to the rhythmic pulse of his earlier records, featuring punchy drum machines, warm synths, and kinetic grooves that promise to translate beautifully in a live setting.

As he supports Neon Trees, whose infectious pop hooks have filled arenas for more than a decade, Twin Shadow’s set will give Chicago concertgoers a chance to experience both his evolution as an artist and a preview of what’s to come from Cadet.
