Michigan indie-pop project returns with second single, doubling down on the danceable, emotionally charged sound that earned debut single ‘Wired The Same’ 27 confirmed placements and international coverage!
Detroit-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Marcus Assenmacher is back as Twin Phase with ‘One Way Out’ — a high-energy indie-pop cut that hits the sweet spot between the dance floor and the confessional booth.
Written, produced, and recorded entirely by Marcus Assenmacher at SayHeySounds, ‘One Way Out’ is built on programmed drums layered with live performances, electric guitar, bass, synthesisers, and vocals – the kind of hybrid approach that gives the track both technical precision and human warmth. The result is four minutes of groove-driven momentum rooted in the nu-disco and alternative R&B territory that Twin Phase has quickly made its own.
The track pulls from a specific emotional pressure point. As Marcus Assenmacher puts it:
“‘One Way Out’ is about reaching a point in a relationship where you realise the only path forward is to be honest with yourself and take a leap into the unknown. It explores the tension between holding on to what feels familiar and accepting that real growth often requires letting go.”
Energetic and uplifting on the surface, the track carries genuine emotional weight underneath — vulnerability dressed in a groove you can’t sit still to. It’s a strong follow-up to ‘Wired The Same’, the debut single that introduced Twin Phase to audiences worldwide. That release generated a 27% curator acceptance rate across 119 submissions, landed 30 confirmed placements, earned features from Roadie Music and Cosmonauta Radio, and clocked over 1,200 Spotify algorithmic streams — a formidable foundation and groundwork for Twin Phase’s forthcoming debut album!
That career has deep roots. Marcus Assenmacher began touring at 17, received a Heritage Guitars endorsement while performing with For All We Know, and went on to study at New York University before working out of Beat360 Studios as a songwriter, producer, and session musician. His collaborators have included Teddy Geiger, Lauv, Grammy-winning producer Ricky Reed, and Sammy Adams — years spent helping shape other artists’ sounds before stepping forward with his own.
Twin Phase draws its closest comparisons to Roosevelt, Chromeo, Lauv, The Millennial Club, and Jamiroquai; artists who share the same instinct for pairing emotional honesty with irresistible production. A debut album is on the horizon.
