Formed in late 2003, The Twilight Sad are a Scottish indie rock band composed of James Alexander Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar), Craig Orzel (bass) and Mark Devine (drums). Although their early shows saw them creating half-hour pieces of music with tape loops and toy instruments alongside bass, guitar and drums, these sonic adventures gradually evolved into the more traditional songwriting and led to the recording of debut album Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters (2007). Featuring a blend of post-rock and post-punk with heavily delayed shoegaze guitars and folk elements, this record received good critical reception from the independent music media and turned the band into a reference point for the up-and-coming Scottish indie scene at the time.
Fast forward two years and The Twilight Sad are back with album number two aka Forget The Night Ahead. For the recording process, the band disposed of their effect pedals and experimented with natural reverb using early krautrock techniques; fear not though as the big melodies and vast romantic landscapes are still there. Fans of My Bloody Valentine, Arab Strap and Mogwai have every reason to be happy.
