Caleb Nichols – “Demon Twins”
“While ‘Demon Twink’ sounds like a very personal song about a toxic relationship, it’s really just a joke,” Caleb Nichols says of his new single. Back in 2021, I wrote this after reading on Twitter that there was a Devil Twins TV show going on. I just thought it would be fun to imagine going on a date with the infamous diabolical twin: the twin who broke into Brittany Spears’ birthday party on a boat in the Hudson River and caused all kinds of chaos. I mean, someone has to love this person, right? I imagine it would be difficult to have a relationship with such a lad, and maybe the result is just a lifetime of pain and abuse? Wouldn’t the Devil Boy want revenge if you decided to leave? Can a person survive in this situation? A short thought experiment led to a fun little pop riff. ” Caleb’s new album let’s review Releases October 13th via Kill Rock Stars.
