The Twilight Sad - Forget the Night Ahead - VINYL LP

Double vinyl LP pressing. The soundtrack from the classic and influential 1979 film, adapted by director Franc Roddam from the Who's 1973 rock opera, set against a backdrop of the mods vs rockers battles of the period. With a searing performance by Phil Daniels as Jimmy, the disaffected mod. Also stars Leslie Ash and Sting as the 'ace face'. Includes 13 The Who tracks - several re-recorded and remixed exclusively for the soundtrack. This reissue also features 3 new tracks not on the original album.

Available again in an all new repress, Twilight Sad's third full-length, No One Can Ever Know, marked a sonic shift for the band. Freshly inspired by a listening diet of Cabaret Voltaire, Can, Liars, Magazine, Autechre, and Public Image Limited, the band turned to a dark, synth-heavy sound and the resulting LP shares thematic and sonic space with the most innovative offerings from Depeche Mode, The Cure, or even Nine Inch Nails. InchWe wanted to be a lot more spontaneous, get outside our comfort zone - not to fall back into repeating what we've done previously,Inch explains guitarist Andy MacFarlane. InchSo we moved to London for a month to record at The Pool and got Andrew Weatherall involved to bounce ideas off and to generally reassure us of the direction we were already progressing in - toward a sparser sound, with a colder, slightly militant feel.Inch

Available in a new repress, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters is the the breakthrough debut album from The Twilight Sad. A complete record, the nine tracks work together to create a strong narrative flow. Deceptively simple songs are rendered transcendent. Bleached, overdriven guitars consistently ride a line between ambient and coruscating, working in tandem with an articulate, at times tumultuous rhythm section, forever poised between tension and . Augmented by piano and more frequently accordion, which provide the songs with a dramatic swoon, The Twilight Sad purvey an awestruck, ragged sentimentality. Lyrically suggestive and metaphorical, their songs give glimpses of bitter experience and romantic failure, their songs at times verging on the anthemic or celebratory, yet firmly rooted in the familiar, often unsaid hurt behind day to day events.
