Two Tongues, 'Two Tongues' (Vagrant)

Emo yin and yang transcend embattled genre's clichés.

Operating like two halves of one brain, this Warped Tour fantasy group -- Saves the Day's Chris Conley and David Soloway plus Say Anything's Max Bemis and Coby Linder -- flood their debut album with opposites: dark/ light, quiet/loud, mid-period Replacements and obscure, angular '90s emo. Obvious influences aside, Two Tongues is some of the most powerfully original music either camp has released, with the intimate production raising the goose-bump factor of Conley's and Bemis' earnest, if wildly contrasting, vocal styles.
