Description

£21.99 – 2xLP, Limited Edition Vinyl

The Twilight Sad’s third full-length 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 turn to a dark, synth-heavy sound for no one can ever know; the resulting lp shares thematic and sonic space with the most innovative offerings from Depeche Mode, the Cure, or even Nine Inch Nails. “We wanted to be a lot more spontaneous, get outside our comfort zone – not to fall back into repeating what we’ve done previously,” explains guitarist Andy Macfarlane. “So 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.”
