The Twilight Sad - Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave (Demos) - VINYL LP

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

Forget The Night Ahead was an even darker set than it's hallowed predecessor, Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, with James Graham's portentous knack for unsettling lines, forcefully delivered in his own Caledonian burr remaining very much on point. Produced by guitarist Andy MacFarlane and recorded and mixed by Paul Savage at Chem19 Studios in Scotland, the album featurest he singles InchI Became a ProstituteInch, InchSeven Years of LettersInch, and InchThe RoomInch.

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.
