Twin Plagues is the third studio album by American band Wednesday, released by Orindal Records on August 13, 2021.
Twin Plagues has musical footing in "punchy" grunge pop and "vitreous" guitar-pop, and is "as indie rock as it gets."[1][2][3] It also leans into dissonant noise pop and shoegazing sounds.[2][3]
