The Twilight Sad (official thread)

[CellarGhosts]

Just started listening to them, I'm enjoying it. Not usually the kind of thing I listen to but still, good stuff. Gotta love the thick Scottish accent haha. Any fans?

Groundskeeper Willie crooning over a sea of distortion. Haha, but really, I'm not sure. Seeing as how I don't usually listen to this kind of thing it's hard for me to give a solid RIYL. However, last.fm has Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks as similar artists. Can't really say if that's accurate or not though.

haha i guess i'll just have to dive into it. a lot of awesome people have rec'd them to me though so thats a plus.

[timb89]

the band name annoys me.

[bladerdude360]

Never listened to them before, but I actually like that song.

[kearn1tm]

They hadn't won me over until last year's compilation Killed My Parents and Hit the Road. The new album is really good.

I can't remember if you were already familiar with Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks, but I highly recommend that you check out Frightened Rabbit's The Midnight Organ Fight if you like the Twilight Sad here. Man really knows how to write a good one liner.

I really need to check this band out. I've come to love Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks lately so from the sound of things I'll probably enjoy this.

[kianacarly]

I actually used to hate thick Scottish accents in vocalists, which looking back was pretty ridiculous of me. I listened to We Were Promised Jetpacks on a whim and enjoyed it a lot, so I listened to The Twilight Sad soon after because I remembered dismissing them before on the basis of the accent. I really enjoy them, and I will never make such a foolish mistake again.

One of the only bands I like from the UK. Which is impressive when I've lived here for twenty years now.

I really like Cold Days From The Birdhouse until it explodes. I'm having a hard time getting into any of the other songs. I think the new album is something closer to what I like.

Haha, great description. The song you posted isn't bad. I'll look into them.

[Chromefox]

I reflexively associate this band with sparkly vampires, thus my interest meter sits on a fairly low setting.

[captainamazing4]

[Elle_]

I'm liking this band alot.

good. more people should :)

[awakeohsleeper]

I prefer the first album but haven't really given the second chance to grow on me yet.

[poppa Q]

Forget the Night Ahead is one of the year's best.

[Osto]

Forget The Night is definately a grower and a great album, but I think I'll take We Were Promised Jetpacks's debut over it for this year if we're just talking scottish accents here.

I second this.

[drewinseries]

Just grabbed their LP's. Really digging it. Really diggin the Fat Cat trio of We Were Promised Jetpacks, Frightened Rabbit, and The Twilight Sad. There you go Scotland.
