Song(s) of the Day # 1,839 The Twilight Sad


Intense Scottish band and some songs from their new album It Won't Be Like This All The Time. With connections of various kinds to compatriots Frightened Rabbits, Idlewild and Blue Nile. The reference points will give some idea of what they sound like. 


It's easy to make lazy associations given a cursory listen. I was minded of early Talk Talk and Depeche Mode singles on initial hearing. Robert Smith is a huge champion which might lead you to think they have Goth genes. None of these associations are completely wide of the mark but the record has a glossy depth that is not immediately apparent and it certainly drew me in with the passing tracks.
