Chris Twist - Against Gods
Chris Twist is a music artist based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Seven years ago, Twist had a traumatic brain injury that caused him to have to relearn all of his skills - even the entire English language, as well as how to sing and play instruments. Today we are excited to share our thoughts on Chris Twist’s new EP, Against Gods!
Against Gods opens with its title track, “Against Gods”. This track is euphoric, passion-filled and soul-baring, this track does a splendid job of making you both think and feel; its multiple sections keep you engaged while the actual content within is absolutely spectacular. It makes perfect sense that this track shares its name with the EP - it is phenomenal. Next up is “Posthuman” and its lyrics really do a great job of putting Chris Twist’s personal philosophy on display. I really like the vocal production in this track, there is a certain synthetic nature about it that pairs incredibly well with the title and helps you buy in to the message as a listener. “Amsterdam” is third and it is a very special song. Combining euphoric, nostalgic and Lofi elements, I find it difficult to express exactly how you will feel after listening to this song - this is one you will want to experience for yourself for sure.
The fourth track from Against Gods is “If It Is Then So Am I” and it feels like a continuation of the vibes presented by the song that preceded it. That said, it really adds to the aforementioned feelings presented; I have a deep appreciation of just how much Chris Twist is willing to bare his soul in the music from this EP and this song is an absolutely stirring - perhaps the most stirring - example of what he accomplishes within all of these songs. The EP closes out with “Good Morning” and this track is an absolute Lofi masterpiece. I feel the instrumental screaming as the bass grooves and Twist sings; this EP reaches its climax within this track and it is yet another can’t-miss kind of song from Twist. These last few tracks really bleed into each other, providing an exceptional listening experience overall.
Against Gods is a triumphant release from Chris Twist. This EP is about Twist’s personal experience in the hospital and its high quality craftmanship shows us just how far he has come - it is remarkable what this artist has overcome. I would be remiss if I did not mention Twist’s day job; he is a resume writer and enjoys connecting with people and helping them succeed in their careers and I feel like his career, in addition to his music, shows us the kind of person Twist is and what he is all about. You can keep up with Chris Twist through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We have the entirety of Against Gods embedded below via Spotify and you can also catch the EP on Apple Music and YouTube!
