Eclectic and Catchy Alt-Rockers Dobbeltgjenger Release New Album "The Twins"!
The eclectic and catchy alt-rock outfit Dobbeltgjenger is releasing their fourth studio album, The Twins on February 10th on Apollon Records.
The new record is about the battles that are waged against oneself. This is conceptualized through two internal and rivaling twins. The album reflects a chaotic time in songwriter Vegard Wiknes life, in the aftermaths of a mental breakdown. This was a time where the basics of life became a fight: getting out of bed, eating, talking, sleeping, etc. With extensive help from the mental health care system and by using songwriting as a way of expressing and processing his feelings he managed to get somewhat on his feet again, seven months later.
As a trained music therapist in the same system that helped him Wikne is well aware of the way music making can drag people out of deep and muddy waters, and that is what The Twins did for him.

The album reflects this process, both musically and lyrically. The music is energetic, manic and colorful, but also dark, smothering and hard. It changes and varies, just as life does when in a chaotic time. Lyrically the album is self reflective, sometimes from the “bad” twins point of view and sometimes from a more cohesive point of view. "Being really mentally unwell can feel like observing yourself and your life from the outside, without anyway of interjecting" Wikne says. The Twins is about the fight for the driver's seat in your own life.
