...according to our Dave on 15 October 2009.

This new Twilight Sad 7" comes on like a Scottish Sonic Youth (Scottish Youth? Sonic Youth crossed with Taggart?) It has a catchy chorus reminiscent of IDLEWILD... But maybe that's me being racist...The bands sound seems deafening and tender in equal measure, and has a quite uplifting feel thanks to Andy McFarlanes tremeloed guitar and neat production, and is thrillingly melodic. It sounds pretty sick!!! 'Seven Years Of Letters' is out on Fat Cat Records and has a sweet looking cover.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· ‘Seven Years Of Letters’ is the second single taken from their latest album
‘Forget The Night Ahead’, produced by guitarist Andy MacFarlane with the
assistance of the Delagados’ Paul Savage, and featuring the violin work of My
Latest Novel’s Laura McFarlane and Martin Docherty (of Aereogramme) for
additional live keyboards and guitars.
· Andy McFarlane’s distinctive tremeloed guitar creates startling shifts between
melancholy introspective and explosive tension, the cacophony broadening to
accommodate the band’s most melodic and also thrillingly discordant moments yet.
· The Twilight Sad 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 for genreluminaries
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 recently headlined FatCat’s Independent’s Week show at the
ICA in London, to a rapturous response.
