As a prefix, “post” tends to signify both the offspring of something major and a place where you can lay multiple creative ideas on the table–like “post-punk” or “post-rock.” The last term is synonymous with both the trio Twin Talk and their hometown city of Chicago. Twin Talk’s music is jazz, but it’s produced like an indie-rock record, not too unlike the music of some of their illustrious fans such as Bon Iver or Jason Moran. With a brooding, elegant, cinematic, and dreamlike sound, Twin Talk takes on the intensity of Sonny Rollins with the soundscapes of Tortoise.
