Twilight Dementia

Twilight Dementia’s music is a testament to the strength of partnership and that the whole is often much more than the sum of its parts. Their debut, self-titled album, Twilight Dementia, is a bold and daring statement of purpose that demonstrates the group’s unwillingness to play anyone’s game other than their own. The Washington D.C. based duo’s engrossingly atmospheric and ethereal rock is the product of a duo that seemed destined to find each other.

Formed in 2006, Twilight Dementia is comprised of Jennifer Mendiola on vocals and John Krauss on guitars, bass, keyboards and programming. Their influences include Lunascape, Evanescence, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Portishead, and Pink Floyd, among others.

One of the most noteworthy tracks in the album is Twelve Oceans, a lush and dreamy soundscape, fueled by John’s sensual, swirling guitars, and Jennifer’s lilting, siren-like vocals. The combined elements help to lure the listener into an almost-melancholic state of tranquility. The chemistry felt by the duo on this first song, would set the tone, but not a template, for the songs which followed.

Other noteworthy tracks on the album are their single, Good Enough, Lullaby, Deliverance, Midnight Charade, Matter Of Time, and reinterpretations of Gimme Shelter (originally by the Rolling Stones), and A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall (originally by Bob Dylan).
