TWIN TOES Tap Into Analog Nostalgia with ‘Born Before the Internet’

Belgian art-pop duo drop a danceable ode to pre-digital life.

Quirky Belgian duo TWIN TOES are back with a brilliantly offbeat new single, ‘Born Before the Internet’, out now via cult label Capitane Records. Equal parts minimalist banger and surreal pop mantra, the track distills analog nostalgia into just under three minutes of shimmering hyperpop-inflected earworm energy.

Following their 2022 debut album’s wild experimentation, Nico and Antoine have tightened their sound - sharper beats, stickier hooks, and lyrics that land like poetic reminders to stay human in a digital blur. “‘Born Before the Internet’ is direct and unfiltered,” the duo explain. “We’ve embraced a more immediate, dance-driven sound - blending vulnerability with pop clarity.”

With its infectious rhythm, sleek synths, and homespun weirdness, the track feels like Kraftwerk and M83 moonlighting at a Wes Anderson rave. It meditates on life before endless notifications, a time of mixtapes, memory, and actual disconnection.

TWIN TOES’ evolution feels both nostalgic and next-gen. Whether soundtracking an LA art party or a Tokyo warehouse set, ‘Born Before the Internet’ proves they’re making music that’s weird, warm, and wildly of the moment. More singles and a music video are on the way.
