i’m often asked the question, ‘what’s it like to be a twin?’
and my response is usually, ‘what’s it like to NOT be a twin?'”
“being a twin is a very central part of my identity.
it’s all i’ve known.
my best friend.”
Patrick further revealed that Plas Teg Records will be releasing Adam’s albumLatch Relayon a limited edition vinyl.
“in 2018, Adam released ‘Latch Relay.’
in typical Adam fashion, he did no advertising or marketing or promotion.
it was always about the music for him.
nothing else mattered,” Patrick wrote.
“i ask that you listen to this album if you have not listened already.
it is a masterpiece from a genius far beyond his time.”
He amassed 300,000 followers and posted multiple skits with Patrick beforeVine shut down in 2016, according toVariety.
