Twilight Sad Remix Track Giveaway

The Twilight Sad are an indie rock band from Kilsyth, Scotland, comprising James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar), and Mark Devine (drums). The band have released three full-length albums, as well as several EPs and singles.

Following on from their Andrew Weatherall produced album ‘No One Can Ever Know’,   The Twilight Sad are now giving away one of the nine tracks from their forthcoming remix album.

‘No One Can Ever Know – The Remixes’ includes collaborations form the likes of Com Truise, Breton, Tom Furse (The Horrors) and, notably, Liars, who the band credited as one of their biggest inspirations for the album.

The album, due for release on Monday 5th November will be preceded with a full UK tour this October, as well as a homecoming date in December:

We listened to the giveaway track  ‘Nil’ (Liars Remix) from the forthcoming album, and here’s what we thought:

A slimy synth prods and harasses the popped up cluster of crackling beats. Then an invidious set of liquid vibrations purr sweet rhythms into your inner ear. This lip-smackingly tasty track has a hell-for-leather pace and a frothy mixture of inventive vocals-  together with some juddering motifs. This piece is a sonic swirl of activity that swarms around your head like a befuddled host of moon-drunk moths. - © Neil_Mach October 2012 -
