Turn Up for Twin Shadow's New Song, "Turn Me Up"

There's no word on whether this is from a new album, although it is tagged #warner and #bros on Soundcloud, and his next album is coming out on Warner Bros. But then again, maybe he just has a bunch of bros named Warner. I know I do! Here's the statement he offered on Soundcloud, which is very poignant:
