Biography
Brothers share a bond like no other. No matter the distance, it manifests aloud and unspoken all at once, representing a connection at a blood level and beyond. As such, the bond between Norma Jean vocalist Cory Brandan and his brother Matthew Putman operates as the beating heart of orphantwin. Shaking cinematic soundscape architecture with fits of metallic intensity and unexpected melodic bliss, the Arkansas-based duo uncork uncanny creative chemistry on their 2022 debut, Future Classic [Solid State]. “This is a brothers project,” affirms Cory. “Matthew and I look alike. Our voices and mannerisms are very similar. We’re only a year apart in age, so people have always referred to us as twins. orphantwin is the idea your reflection is a twin of you in another world. It’s about brothers.” orphantwin quietly materialized over the past few years. During the recording of Norma Jean’s All Hail in 2019, Matthew contributed heavily as a co-writer, co-producer, percussionist, and engineer. Among his contributions, they collaborated on the opener “Orphan Twin.” When the world shut down in 2020, Cory and Matthew resumed writing together. It naturally morphed into its own beast as they progressed.
