As 2012 comes to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors. On their latest, No One Can Ever Know (FatCat), Scotland’s best musical export since the Jesus And Mary Chain tear down their walls of guitar noise to reveal the icy [...]
This was great to see in the Magnetic Soundcloud feed this morning. Andy from the Twilight Sad put together an awesome mixtape for FatCat Records, ahead of the band's biggest ever headline show at Glasgow's Barrowlands . Lots of ground covered here, some new, some old…come at it with an open mind and you'll be all the better for it. good shit, indeed. 1. Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury - Justice One 2. Byetone - Black Peace 3. Das Ding - H.S.T.A. 4. Section 25 - Dirty Disco [...]
liars, com truise, ambassadors, bretonlabs und brokenchord sind unter anderem hier versammelt, um die songs des albums »no one can ever know« neu zu interpretieren...
By Hayley Scott November 28, 2012 No One Can Ever Know: The Remixes is perhaps a wise move from the Kilsyth trio; with its progenitor No One Can Ever Know being a somewhat achromatic affair that was a retrograded attempt at revolutionising the band’s sound. This was a fairly bewildering development considering the understated brilliance of their previous two albums that gave the band tenable predictions of promise. While The Twilight Sad ’s intentions were that of a Kraftwerkian advancement in scope by dabbling tentatively in electronic techniques, [...]
Any attempt to remake and improve on the sullen melodies of No One Can Ever Know is destined to be an exercise in experimentation and, to a lesser extent, homage. The Twilight Sad's No One Can Ever Know should have come packaged with painkillers and razorblades. But suggesting that it's a simply a dark album cheapens its expressive tones, its morbid lyrical content, and its gut-punch nerviness. No One Can Ever Know is a cathartic album, one that doesn't race to the bottom, but slowly descends level-by-level, track-by-track, as if Virgil himself were guiding you down to [...]

Tipps für eine Woche voller besserer Musik. Diese Woche mit Montagabenden zuhause und anderen Abenden überall. Zusammengestellt von Sabrina Stallone und Eva Hediger. Montag, 26. November 2012 Jetzt schon das Wochenende herbeizaubern wollen ist - wir bedauern - Wunschdenken. Ein ganzes Stück näher dem Filetstück jeder Wochenplanung fühlt man sich allerdings, wenn das neue Remix-Album von The Twilight Sad zuhause ganz laut aufgedreht wird. Heute Abend ausprobieren. Anspieltipp: Sick (Brokenchord Remix). Dienstag, 27. November 2012 [...]
The Twilight Sad ’s No One Can Ever Know was a disappointingly colourless affair which displayed only fleeting glimpses of the genius that, over the course of their previous two fantastic albums, had established the band as one of Britain’s best new acts. If the record was an attempt to revolutionise the band’s sound, it failed: for all the new elements the band incorporated – new wave synth, openly emotive lyrics, a more widescreen approach to production courtesy of Andrew Wetherall – No One sounded exactly like a Twilight Sad [...]
The Twilight Sad's new remix album will make you dance. But you'd better not enjoy yourself while doing so. Fat Cat Records, 2012 8.3 / 10.0 Like Interpol and Editors before them, Scotland's The Twilight Sad have made dark, depressing indie rock music into their personal brand.
Release dates on holiday weeks are usually quite slow. As you would expect, today's list of new releases is indeed short, yet there are still a handful of interesting new albums to lure you into record stores before the holiday shopping masses come flooding in. Among them is the long awaited follow up to The Evens ' 2006 LP, Get Evens . Once again on The Odds , husband and wife duo Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) and Amy Farina (Warmers) pair up on what our Music Director, Don Yates, calls "an often-gripping set of skeletal post-hardcore, [...]

It's really been over five years now that we've been doing this. Every single Tuesday for five years now. Not to get all nostalgic on everyone, but every Tuesday for the last five years there's not a week that goes by that I don't think, "What could possibly be out this week?" And each week we've been able to answer that and give you a whole bunch of songs to stream or download. So let's do what we do best... This week there's a lot of stuff out there... In fact, since we've been doing the new [...]
![The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know: The Remixes [Full Album Stream]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4627514_lg.jpg)
"As I said the album does feel slightly heavy and this may stem from the fact that there is actually only four tracks here ('Nil', 'Not Sleeping' and 'Alphabet' are all tackled twice and 'Sick' three times) so as impressive and varied as the mixes are, after a few listens you can find yourself wondering if an EP, with one or at most two versions of each song, would have sufficed. However this small gripe aside No One Can Never Know: The Remixes has definitely been a worthwhile experiment for both, band and the featured contributors." [ [...]
The Peekaboos | Photo by Ida SeferRoche. Hey Hey! It's Friday! Time to get out there and see some live music - and there's some very cool stuff going on this weekend. First and foremost, we're presenting slash curating slash throwing what will be an amazing show on Saturday night at Cafe Mustache in Logan Square with The Peekaboos and Esoteric Tapioca ! And though it will most likely be epic, that's not all that's going on this weekend. We're also talking When Clouds Attack at the Empty [...]
Our adventures on the night of November 13th ended over at Red 7, catching some of our favorite Scots, Errors and Twilight Sad . It was vastly different from the earlier pop moments over at Mohawk with Jens, but welcomed nonetheless. Read on for thoughts and photos. Once we arrived, we were immediately greeted by the walls of noise from Austin's own, The Calm Blue Sea . Their recent album, Arrivals & Departures , is [...]

The Twilight Sad promised a shift in direction for their third LP No One Can Ever Know which was released earlier in the year. It was an entirely logical evolution and did little to stem the power and intensity of the band's sound. The post rock wall of noise they had so potently established progressed naturally in a more industrial, electronic direction. It was a brutal and aggressive triumph. The band have now taken this electronic influence a stage further by handing over a collection of tracks from the LP for the remix treatment. The band are [...]
With freezing temperatures rolling through the Philadelphia area on Wednesday night, The Twilight Sad exerted a morose, yet invigoratingly heated set at Johnny Brenda's. Scottish country-mates Errors opened with their electro-pop tracks before the surprisingly sparse upstairs crowd huddled a bit closer to the stage for the almost heavy rock appeal of The Twilight Sad. Touring to continue promotion of February's No One Can Ever Know , the group's third studio album, half of the songs played were from that album, while Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters and Forget the Night Ahead accounted [...]
Our friends have been gracious to provide us with a pair of tickets to one lucky winner for an incredible show going down next Tuesday at Red 7: The Twilight Sad . I'm excited by this show for more than one reason: 1) I met our photographer Brian at a T. Sad who years ago, so it's our anniversary 2) the band is one of the most captivating live bands I've caught in years. They stop in town behind the release of their latest, No One Can Ever Know , [...]
