Twin Shadow have shared a mixtape, composed of demos taken from 2010 to 2014. The mixtape, titled Night Rally, is available as a free download, or as a tour only cassette.

George Lewis Jr. explained how he had been working on the mixtape at home, as he recovered from the band's bus accident in April this year; which left drummer Andy Bauer seriously injured.

In the tape announcement, Lewis wrote:

After our April 17th bus accident the Twin Shadow family returned to their separate homes off the road. It was a painful experience that left us all feeling raw and exposed. While spending time healing and resting in my apartment in LA I started to sift through old hard drives. I found all these ideas I had nearly forgotten, most of them more realized than I remembered.

The more I dug the more I realized how much music was made in the last five years. Being home I had the time and perspective to enjoy all the little impulses, embarrassing choices, and exciting moments that I couldn't bottle. There were also some songs that I couldn't understand why I never finished. After listening back several times, I decided to make a small collection of the songs that stuck out. The mixtape consists of recordings from 2010 to 2014.

Night Rally is presented as one 44-minute track and is available to download from Twin Shadow's website.
