Twofold Cipher look forward on groovy new single, “Horizons”
With their fourth single release, Twofold Cipher are continuing to widen their creative lens, offering a track that is downright excellent from start to finish. “Horizons” unfolds with the confidence of artists who understand the power of restraint, letting groove, message, and atmosphere do the heavy lifting. It’s a song that doesn’t rush to impress, instead it invites listeners to settle into the warmth and absorb the perspective.
Rather than delivering grand declarations, it leans into something more enduring, the idea that awareness, compassion, and responsibility begin in the present moment. The lyrics reflect on what we leave behind for the next generation, not with anxiety or doom, but with a calm sense of accountability. The central affirmation, to release control and allow life to unfold, is such a beautiful change from what most artists write about in modern times. In an era defined by noise and urgency, “Horizons” flips everything on its head and confidently stands alone!
Musically, the song is exceptional to say the least. Built on reggae foundations that somehow never overpower the arrangement, it glides along with smooth, funky instrumentation and a rhythm that feels perfectly organic. The groove is infectious, anchored by a bassline that knows exactly when to push and when to pull back. Very subtle hip-hop influences weave through the track, adding texture to let you know this band isn’t just paying homage to the genre. The horns were a personal and particular highlight, arriving with soul, lifting the song just enough to make you want to dance.
The production also needs to be mentioned for how seriously slick the entire track is. There’s a richness to the soundscape that reflects Twofold Cipher’s international makeup, a collaboration that stretches from the UK to California and Buenos Aires. That geographic spread is audible as if the track itself has traveled far to reach this point. The vocals carry genuine passion, delivered with clarity, reinforcing the song’s reflective tone all the while sending shivers down your spine due to just how well they carry in the song.
For us, it works as a feel-good summer track, perfectly suited to those coveted sunlit afternoons and coastal breezes, but it also rewards deeper listening when you pay close attention to those lyrics. Beneath the relaxed exterior is really a thoughtful meditation on perspective, one that encourages listeners to look outward without losing sight of the now.
As Twofold Cipher continue to roll out new material throughout 2026 (can’t wait!), “Horizons” stands as a perfect way to kick off the year. Soooo much more than just an enjoyable listen, it feels like an invitation to slow down, tune in, and imagine a future shaped by awareness and care.
This is fully a band to watch out for and we already know we’ll be coming back for more. Go ahead and click those links below to listen in, follow along, and of course to stay tuned for everything set to roll out in the coming months.
