  Hidden Harmony Recordings presents the debut album of Long Twins. Everyone In Water by the KV Hopper and Elizabeth LoPiccolo duo is a collection of delicate avant-pop songs that occupy liminal space between sophisticated songwriting and the eternal charms of warm modular arpeggios, the brilliant voice and flute sonority and blue-sky psychedelia of sequencers, generators, and filters, the merging compositional prowess and experimentation with pop sensibility. Everyone In Water deals with lyrical themes centered around the sense of place and everyday rituals which curve out into an incredibly serene peak of new sincerity. The thirteen songs on the album are a transcendental amalgamation of avant and pop traditions and of organic and electronic compositional structures -- an entire universe of a record blessed with its own beautifully bizarre logic. Die-cut cardboard outer sleeve, color print inner sleeve and poly-liner sleeves; includes color print inserts with album lyrics. 180-gram vinyl; edition of 500 (numbered).
  
  KV Hopper is a musician and product designer living in Portland, OR. Originally from El Paso, Texas, during the mid-90s he helped form punk group, At The Drive-In and appeared on the first two releases (Hell Paso and Alfaro Vive Carajo). In 2001, he moved to San Francisco and created an instrumental prog-band, Crime in Choir (featuring Death Grips drummer, Zach Hill, synthesist Jonas Reinhardt, and other contributing artists). In 2019, he began a studio project, Long Twins with collaborations from guitarist, Phil Manely (Trans Am, Life Coach); vocalist, Meryl Press; percussionist, Warren Huegel (Damo Suzuki's Network); and vocalist, flutist, Elizabeth LoPiccolo.
  
  Elizabeth LoPiccolo is a musician, film photographer, and performer living in Brooklyn, New York. She has been a member of Xhoir (an offshoot of Colin Self's Xoir), a contributor to the music and performances of Ziemba (René Kladzyk, who takes her band name from her grandmother's maiden name) and a longtime collaborator with her husband, Rhys Ziemba (no relation to René Kladzyk). Most recently Elizabeth has been a contributor of vocals, lyrics, and flute arrangements to the experimental synth tapestries of Long Twins.
