As was previously reported, solo metal act Autumns Eyes was scheduled to release a new album on Halloween this year. The new album release has been set back due to a broken radius bone in sole member Dan's right arm. The injury has pushed back the release of the new album to early 2010. The album title, artwork, and track listing are expected to be... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
"Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay." – Robert Browning There's nothing like the majestic melancholy of autumn. The cooling winds, wood smoke and mosaic of sunburned colors make for a truly magical few weeks, tainted only by a quiet apprehension of winter. Maybe it's the slow fade of fall that makes me nostalgic, but every October, I'm reminded of the autumns from years past, and specifically, what I was listening to in those times. Here's a hint: the timbre of an acoustic guitar is sweet honey [...]
Still a bit breathless, I confess to having to wait a full 24 hours to begin to write this up for you. The evening was full of so much, so many highs, so few moments where I actually had a conscious self-reflective thought. I spent the bulk of it just wide-eyed and head nodding and body swaying to the incredible sounds that I had anticipated and was experiencing just as I imagined I would. Darlings, it is rare indeed to be so completely fulfilled in an evening in a club by three bands as I was this night. [...]
A Cave, A Canoo is Shelley Short's third release on Hush records and, to my delight, arrived at my door yesterday morning. I've been listening through her two other Hush releases, Water for the Day and Captain Wildhorse , a good deal lately and find her soft, sparse songs the perfect accompaniment to autumn's arrival. Short's music is ostensibly folk and, like much of that genre, feels intimate and personal, engaging the listener in a private, quiet world. Short plays acoustic guitar and sings, in a lightly affected, sweet and youthful tone. [...]
Frank Yang There's no shortage of terrific records that have been released with the Fat Cat marque, but many of those have been Europe-only territory deals, those same artists having different representation in North America and thus keeping the label's profile over here largely on the down low. That's begun changing in recent years, however, as they've assembled an impressive roster of talent on worldwide deals and thus been able to assemble tours like the one that rolled through the El Mocambo on Saturday night, featuring The Twilight Sad , We Were Promised [...]

Conducted by Capt. Obvious Obvious: Congratulations on the release of your wonderful new album Forget The Night Ahead . While it's still a noisy album, it seems to be more complex structurally and more melody driven. Was this a conscious decision and do you see your future material moving in that direction? Graham: First of all, thank you for your kind words on our new record. The songs on Fourteen Autumns & [...]
La movida escocesa hace presencia fuerte nuevamente con el segundo álbum de The Twilight Sad. Desde las tierras de Trainspotting , reaparecen con ese sentido de impotencia y sentimiento miserable que mostraba Renton y sus compinches. Puede que se muestren algo más sombríos que en su debut: la distorsión en las guitarras, la voz de James Graham con un marco de pianos y violines van dando la connotación de desengaño y ensimismamiento, o de sencillamente frustración que refleja en las letras, títulos y carátula. El gesto revela el tono. "I became a prostitute" es el single, [...]
F irst off, let me get this out of the way: Ontario, Canada's The Rest and their latest full-length, Everyone All At Once , are not The Arcade Fire's Funeral part two and frankly, it's a bit of disservice to call it that based on what The Rest have accomplished with this album. While both bands share a certain desperation found in their music as well as a penchant for being Canadians in a multi-member (i.e., more than four people) group, the similarities kind of end there. You will not find [...]
This week saw an unprecedented amount of new material come my way, recommended by people both imaginary and real, passing in one ear and out the other, rattling a few synapses on its way through the vacuum. It's all decent (or else I wouldn't bother reviewing it), but some sticks out more than others. Given the short time I've had with each album, my perceptions might change once I've had more of a chance to digest them, but these are my initial perceptions. Starting with my favourites from the week, and working my way down (roughly in order of likeability) [...]
words & photos by Dominick Mastrangelo The Twilight Sad If it was possible The Twilight Sad have gone even darker on their new record Forget The Night Ahead (Fat Cat). Yet what was evident on Friday night at Brooklyn's Southpaw is their live sound has not suffered as a result. Headlining an "early" set, along with label mates Brakesbrakesbrakes and We Were Promised Jetpacks , the Scottish quartet ratcheted the [...]
Maybe, no matter how strong the Twilight Sad can sound, there's just a ceiling on this kind of expansive rock. Because for all the thunder here, we only get a few lightning strikes. No one could knock the strength of the Twilight Sad's sound on their last record, Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, and songs like "Cold Days From the Birdhouse" were as titanic and brooding as rock music gets. But the album's detractors also claimed that its monolithic sound was, well, a little too "mono". But on Forget the Night Ahead, if the band aren't necessarily out to [...]
Four-piece rock outfit The Twilight Sad are one of the foremost bands among what appears, to me at least, to be a recent explosion of Scottish rock 'n' roll acts emerging into the indie mainstream (for lack of a better term). That's not to say Scotland ever stopped producing noteworthy musical exports, but between this year and last, we've seen many young acts such as Glasvegas, Broken Records, and We Were Promised Jetpacks follow similar formulas - including big, loud guitars and even bigger-voiced singers - to similar amounts of acclaim and attention, especially in the UK. With their [...]
Nic Shonfeld I've described - in spirit, if not precise words - The Twilight Sad's debut album Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters as a sonically monolithic slab of angst, a crescendo sustained over 40 minutes, the sound of a man standing on a Scottish cliff face, arms raised and bellowing against the world. And also one of my favourite records of 2007 . And while their set opening up for Mogwai back in May offered a tantalizing preview of the new material, [...]

Since seeing them in Tucson last week, I have been devouring all things by The Twilight Sad , whose stunning new album, Forget the Night Ahead , possesses all the emotion and feeling sorely lacking in a mostly underwhelming year marked by dull synth-pop and a hyped-up lo-fi scrap heap. I was distressed that it took until almost October for a true album-of-the-year contender to reveal itself to me. Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix ; Neko Case's Middle Cyclone ; The Cave Singers' Welcome Joy and Mos Def's The Ecstatic [...]
