Joseph Murphy has found himself a new home in the city of Chicago, Illinois, where he is now allowed the opportunity to focus on his band full time. With humble beginnings under the name Aid, he has decided that, since this band feels brand new, a new name was necessary: Twin Cats. He began writing music as an outlet for creativity, and has expanded the breadth of his sound over the course of several self-released records. In the forthcoming album, the sound of the city folds its arms around his music, as new instruments, time signatures and other explorations appear as strokes of light across the record.
