I kind of like Twilight Sad These days though only in small doses. Mind you I can cope with almost anything these days in small doses so it's hardly a compliment. 'I Became A Prostitute' is the first single from their up coming album and it's got all the trademark Twilight Sad things going on. Super Scottish sounding vocals, massive walls of guitars swathed in melody, a top tune and it's unbelieveably epic without it being pompous. The last bit takes skill and you should recognise that. It's a really good song actually and I'm toying with having me one of these. Great indie rock music that makes me think it's not all shite after all. Smashing!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

The Twilight Sad gear up for the release of ‘Forget The Night Ahead’ with the release of brand new single ‘I Became A Prostitute’.
• The Twilight Sad’s new album ‘Forget The Night Ahead’ was produced by guitarist Andy MacFarlane with the assistance of Delagados’ Paul Savage at Scotland’s legendary Chem19 Studios, and features the violin work of My Latest Novel’s Laura McFarlane. The band have also recently recruited fifth member Martin Docherty (formerly of Aereogramme) for additional live keyboards and guitars. • The band have just returned from a US tour with Mogwai, playing shows attended by Yoko Ono and Thurston Moore. Previous tours have included stadium shows with Snow Patrol and Smashing Pumpkins, and opening slots for genre-luminaries such as Micah P. Hinson, David Pajo, Battles, Beirut, Mice Parade and Idlewild, as well as packed-out headline shows. • The band’s live show is blisteringly intense, deafening and tender in equal measure, often seeing the songs take on a heart-stopping, epic life of their own amidst a towering wall of noise. • The Twilight Sad’s debut US only release gathered critical acclaim from key sites such as Stereogum (who subsequently sponsored their debut NY shows), Spin.com, and Pitchfork, who described their music as “f**king transcendent”. • Available on limited edition 7” vinyl (500 copies).
