The Twilight Sad

It might seem a bit too neatly morose that a band called The Twilight Sad would name its 2007 debut album, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters. Powered by whirring guitars, accordion, experimental noise bursts, and James Graham’s elegant brogue, The Twilight Sad offered a frenzied take on self-pity with its 2007 debut,Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters. 2009’s sophomore follow-up, Forget The Night Ahead, sees the Glaswegian quartet harnessing its frenetic folk stylings to a more peripatetic end, layering the traditional compositions with sheets of noise that yield an anthemic, wall-of-sound quality.
