TWIN TOES have always moved a little sideways, like a synth-laced daydream just slightly out of sync with the world around it. On “Born Before the Internet”, the Brussels-based duo of Nico and Antoine refine their eccentricities into something tighter, shinier, and strikingly sincere. The track is a love letter to pre-digital life, a playful, poignant banger that lingers long after its brisk three-minute runtime.

Stripping back the wonky maximalism of their 2022 debut, TWIN TOES trade in winking art-pop experimentation for a kind of lo-fi futurism. The result is a track that feels like scrolling through an old photo album on a cracked iPhone: layered with warm analog textures, hyperpop polish, and a bittersweet sense of memory. It’s a surreal groove wrapped in simplicity — all bounce, no bloat.

“Born Before the Internet” lands somewhere between Kraftwerk and M83, but with a homespun charm all its own — the kind of track that wouldn’t feel out of place at a Wes Anderson-curated disco. It’s minimal without being cold, nostalgic without being saccharine, and weird without trying too hard. In short: it’s very TWIN TOES.

With Born Before the Internet, we cut straight to the chase. We’ve embraced a more immediate, dance-driven sound, direct, unfiltered, and felt in both the production and the lyrics.

That directness is key. While previous tracks blurred genre lines with abstract brushstrokes, this one delivers its themes like neon signage: life before WiFi, the pace of the past, and the fragile beauty of memory in a culture that never stops refreshing. It’s melancholy made danceable. Poetic, but punchy.
