Parasites & Butterflies is the first Nova Twins album in three years, and the first since 2022’s Supernova, which made them big names in the UK. The press materials for the new record tout the duo’s gigs opening for Muse, Foo Fighters, and Bring Me the Horizon, and there’s no question that this is a Big Rock Record. Nova Twins don’t just rock out, though.
Once again bringing together electronica, industrial, grunge, and aspects of metalcore, Nova Twins infuse bouncy melodies and unabraded energy into every single track on their newest LP, 'Parasites & Butterflies'. Ricocheting between these on-paper disparate elements, consumed purely by what sounds good, 'Parallel Universe' and 'Sandman' showcase just how far Nova Twins are willing to go in the pursuit of explorative sound. 'Hummingbird' brings their eccentric vision to life with its mellow tempo before bursting through with vocals that would push the boundaries of any vocalist's range.
On their debut album, Amy Love and Georgia South introduced us to Nova Twins, the gamechangers of UK rock. On their follow-up, the aptly-titled 'Supernova', the pair were explosive. A go-to support act for rock legends like Bring Me The Horizon, Muse, and Foo Fighters, Nova Twins are also a beloved headliner in their own right. Their third LP, 'Parasites & Butterflies' , is a moment of transformation inspired by a solar eclipse the duo witnessed while recording in Vermont.
