Robert Smith of The Cure appears on three songs on the album, which tackles grief and mental health issues. Previously the band shared the album’s first single, "Waiting for the Phone Call," which was their first new single in six years and featured Smith on guitar. The Twilight Sad is now officially a duo featuring frontman James Graham and guitarist Andy MacFarlane. The album also features sometime Arab Strap player David Jeans on drums and Mogwai live team-member Alex Mackay on bass. MacFarlane produced the album, which was recorded at Willesden’s Battery Studios. 

 

New Music: Designed To Lose

           

The Twilight Sad have been a frequent opener for The Cure in recent years, and there's definitely something very Cure-ish about their brand new single "Designed to Lose", The band's upcoming album, It's the Long Goodbye, is their first in seven years, and emerges from a heavy place. Graham lost his mother to dementia during that time period, while also becoming a father and wrestling with mental health issues. Their forthcoming album comprises ten tracks, the artwork has a similar feel to the previous album around seven years ago, presumably it will be out at the end of March.

Placeres Sonoros: I/m Not Here (Missing Face)

         

La banda Escocesa de post punk The Twilight Sad estrena el single "I/m Not Here (Missing Face)" tremendo, fuerte y poderoso tema en donde el vocalista y líder de la banda James Graham declara "No quiero estar alrededor tuyo nunca más" en contra de un muro de siniestros sintetizadores y violentas percusiones, Graham describe la canción como una batalla en contra de no querer ser uno mismo, tratando de ser una buena persona pero constantemente sintiendose como que le estoy fallando a mi mismo y todo mundo diciendome "yo me preocupo al respecto", sin duda un track triste y estridente tipico de la banda.
