Everything about TWEN is hands-on. Ian produces, engineers, and mixes their albums. Jane designs every visual element, from videos, to posters, to merch. They’ve printed their own shirts, booked their own tours, edited their own films. Their 2022 LP One Stop Shop wasn’t just a title, it was the truth. Even now, as their reach has expanded to a sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre show, opening arena tours, and having played 500+ shows across North America and Europe, they’ve kept full control. It’s proof you can exist outside the system and still make something that is current and alive.
“TWEN, named after a defunct, post-war German magazine; a slang term for people in their twenties, has a sound that’s at once modern and nostalgic. Per the band, it’s ‘1965, 1995 and 2025 all at the same time.’”
- Jax Today
Written across highways and coastlines, Fate Euphoric isn’t nostalgic, though it nods to Britpop, psych, and new wave. It sounds more like the past filtered through the noise of right now. Romanticizing the present instead of running from it. There’s melancholy here, but also motion. If One Stop Shop pointed out the problems of the 2020s from a first-person perspective, Fate Euphoric takes a bird’s-eye view, seeking comfort in the cosmic wheel that will always keep spinning. TWEN’s music lives in contradiction. It’s bright and blissed out, yet carries a darker undercurrent. It shimmers like dream pop but hits with a sharper edge. Stereogum called their sound “clean-lined and catchy, channeling classic janglers like the Smiths and Sundays but with a bit of a modern Alvvays sheen.” Fate Euphoric is available on election day, November 4, 2025 via the band's own label Twenterprises.

Mini Trees is the solo project of LA-based songwriter Lexi Vega, whose intimate blend of indie and alt pop explores the tension between self-doubt and persistence. Her recent album ‘Slow It Down’ unravels cycles of disappointment and growth, emotional loops that echo in both personal relationships and her journey through the music industry.
On “Spinning,” Vega captures the quiet dread of chasing something uncertain, singing, “still getting older while I’m going nowhere”, a line that distills the fear of running out of time without anything to show for it. “Close” flips the lens outward, turning frustration into clarity as she confronts an industry that repeatedly says, “you almost would’ve made it.” And on “Hollow,” she reflects on being the one who pulls away, tracing the aftermath of emotional unavailability with unflinching honesty.
Mini Trees’s 2025 headline tour saw sellout shows across the US including LA, San Francisco, Chicago, DC, NYC, Boston, and more. In the past, she has supported Julien Baker, Death Cab For Cutie, Yumi Zouma, Hovvdy, Jay Som, and others.
With plans to release the deluxe version of ‘Slow It Down’ in 2026 and extensive touring to coincide, Mini Trees continues to carve out space on her own terms, creating music that lives in the in-between, where doubt and devotion quietly coexist.
