Biography

The Twin Atlas was a folk-rock home-recording duo, known for its atmospheric folk and pop songs, written and home-recorded by Sean Byrne with Lucas Zaleski, who began playing together when they met at the University of Delaware in the early '90s and began releasing music as The Twin Atlas in 2000.

During the initial years of their existence as a duo, Zaleski was an NYC resident and Byrne lived in Philadelphia (where he drummed with the bands Lenola, Mazarin, Matt Pond PA, Audible and BC Camplight.)

The foundation of their songs often come from recorded collaborations and improvisations, upon which Byrne later goes back to and finishes; adding vocals, additional melodies & instrumentation, and assorted sounds.

The Twin Atlas moniker was retired in 2010 and the duo now record music as Lazy Salon.
