Slim Twig is the name of a man, not of a band ­ though he has performed in many a group, some under his own moniker. Boasting a catalogue several under­the­radar releases deep, the Toronto native lays claim to a tremendously original work with his orchestrally­inflected, art rock album, A Hound At The Hem. Self­produced in the fall, 2010, Hound is a suite of narrative songs thematically inspired by Vladimir Nabokov s Lolita. DFA is privileged to re­issue this album in advance of the release of Twig s newest works.
