LOS ANGELES— Pop artist FKA twigs has formally requested that indie duo The Twigs cease their protracted legal campaign. The ongoing Twigs trademark dispute has reached new levels of administrative absurdity. FKA twigs, whose given name is Tahliah Barnett, issued the plea on Tuesday. She cited a “tsunami” of cease-and-desist letters. The dispute began nearly a decade ago. It involves the alt-pop sisters Laura and Linda Good.
A Barrage of Bureaucracy
Barnett’s legal team described an overwhelming influx of correspondence. The letters concern the ongoing Twigs trademark dispute. They estimated receiving “dozens daily.” These documents allegedly arrive via traditional mail, email, and even carrier pigeon. “Our client’s studio is now a fire hazard,” stated Bartholomew ‘Barty’ Crumb, Lead Litigator for Artists’ Rights at Dewey, Cheatem & Howe. “The sheer volume of paper threatens structural integrity. We have started using them as soundproofing material for a new album. It’s a pragmatic solution to a ridiculous problem.” Crumb highlighted the band’s continued insistence on trademark infringement claims. He pointed to recent reports detailing the ongoing legal friction.
The Good sisters, known for their 2005 hit “Branching Out,” remain undeterred. They maintain ownership of the “Twigs” moniker. Their legal representatives argue for brand protection. “Our brand identity is paramount,” said Linda Good from an undisclosed location. Her sister, Laura Good, nodded vigorously. “We just want people to know who the real Twigs are,” she added. The band’s last album, “Saplings,” sold 32 copies.
Logistical Nightmares Mount
The constant flow of legal paperwork has created logistical nightmares. Local postal workers have reportedly adopted new delivery protocols. These include wearing hard hats and carrying industrial shredders. “It’s not in the job description,” remarked Mildred P. Tuffington, a veteran postal carrier for the 90210 zip code. “My back aches from hauling these endless boxes. I thought I’d be delivering birthday cards. Now I’m a legal courier in a perpetual Twigs trademark dispute.” Tuffington confirmed her route now takes an extra three hours.
FKA twigs has continued her global touring schedule. She has largely ignored the legal proceedings publicly. However, sources close to the artist say she has developed an allergic reaction. It manifests as a mild rash whenever she sees beige legal-sized envelopes. Her creative process reportedly now includes incorporating “cease-and-desist paper mache” into her stage design. The move aims to reclaim the narrative. FKA twigs is preparing for a fall European tour.
At press time, The Twigs had reportedly filed a new cease-and-desist. It was against a small sapling growing in FKA twigs’ garden.
