The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know MMM 1/2 The Twilight Sad are one of the few bands capable of genuinely turning darkness into underappreciated beauty; sorrow sounds seductive and rather enrapturing in their hands. Over the course of two albums and a handful of EPs, the Scottish band have made a name for themselves with their brooding yet rousing songs rooted deeply in shoegaze's vast, enveloping character. On their third full-length album, No One Can Ever Know [...]

So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let's call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won't be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren't worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]

The amorphous Scottish trio, The Twilight Sad, are back with their third and perhaps most surprising album to date. They have never been afraid of mixing things up, from completely reworking the post rock inclined pop of Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters into borderline sublime shoegaze with Here, It Never Snowed, Afterwards It Did , and later changing their tune with the slightly darker, more brash sophomore Forget the Night Ahead . No One Can Ever Know takes this sonic evolution to the next level. Andrew Weatherall produced and citing influences [...]

Artist : The Twilight Sad Title : No One Can Ever Know Label : FatCat Records Release Date : February 6th BUY IT Written by Matthew Healy It is difficult to know how to start writing about the third album from Scotland's The Twilight Sad . Much has been made of of the ways in [...]

Breton are more then your average London band, they are a unique blend of artistic talent that is combined with the arts of music and film. There is a unique mystic about them and their associated BretonLABS name tag. They currently have a fantastic EP that you can pick up for free on their Facebook page titled Blanket Rule EP . They are also set up to release their debut album Other People's Problems on March 27th via FatCat Records. You can take a listen and check out the video for 'The Commission' [...]

I honestly wouldn't care if this video featured cattle ranchers, wheat harvesting footage and old people throwing horseshoes, "Another Bed" is so good that it doesn't require visuals. And once the second synth melody arrives then everything gets moodier, stranger and your thoughts immediately go someplace else. It's unavoidable. Not many bands have that effect on me these days. The Twilight Sad 's forthcoming full-length, No One Can Ever Know , is due February 20 on Fat Cat.

It was a big week on the internet. Popular sites including Google spent the entire day protesting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) which is a bill that would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to protect copyrights. For the last several years the music industry suffered knockout blows from online piracy and critics have accused music executives from ripping off artists and consumers. Dot-comers accused them of greed and short-sightedness, seen as the fat cats making obscene profits on the back of musicians' creativity. At the end of the day, web gurus such as Kim [...]

Last week we caught up with The Twilight Sad for an extensive chat about their forthcoming LP, No One Can Ever Know . It was the first in a series of interviews that will look at some of the records we're most looking forward to over the first few months of 2012. Next up in our interview series are the Sad 's new label-mates Breton . The band have recently signed to FatCat Records ahead of the [...]

The Twilight Sad have announced a run of dates this February and March, leading up to the annual South by Southwest Music Festival. The band is set to release their 3rd full-length, No One Can Ever Know in February.

Breton Breton have been wowing us with their intricate, eclectic live shows for over a year now and the band have announced details of their first ever headline shows in the UK - they'll play in Manchester, London and Leeds March in support of their debut album, due on Fat Cat. To celebrate the annoucement, the band have made 'The Diamond Tiles Mix' available for fans to hear - it includes two new Breton songs, called 'The Hague' and 'Harp', as well as tracks by jj, SBTRKT and Lil Wayne, and we've embedded [...]

When a band makes album that the influential french music site La Blogoteque deems to be the best record released that year, they're suddenly thrust into the upper-realms of the blogosphere. This is exactly what happened to US pysch-folk-rock- something band Forest Fire with their debut LP Survival . The acclaim wasn't without merit either; Survival remains a strangely intriguing, often beautiful record and the band's live show around it's release remain some of the most exciting and memorable GFP has seen for a long while. In October the band [...]

Odonis Odonis - Hollandaze By Kenny McMurtrie Toronto's Odonis Odonis blaze onto the airwaves with a white-hot blast of messed up and distorted surf guitar on the opening (and title) track of this here debut album, Hollandaze . New and innovative it ain't (half this review could be taken up with naming the bands their sound is obviously influenced by) but its assured enough to deserve its place on the shelf alongside the likes of A Place To Bury Strangers and other current proponents of the garage [...]

Artist : Odonis Odonis Title : Hollandaze Label : FatCat Release Date : 7th November BUY IT Words by Katrina Davidson-Gray The intriguing Toronto band, Odonis Odonis , is the brainchild of Canadian musician Dean Tzenos, who apparently home-recorded over 40 demos before settling on [...]

The group has a very laid back approach to their songs, much [...]

Lo-fi garage buys you time, obscures the glass to avoid scrutiny, gives a cool sheen to an empty vessel. So, when you don't have that many great songs, you can still get away with it. Just claim it's all a load of discarded bedroom DIY demos that were recorded in an afternoon between lunch and dinner. Bowlegs happens to want a little more from music, so the Odonis Odonis debut was initially met with sceptical thoughts. Especially when we read the PR blurb about how album number two is the cleaner, more produced record (it is currently in [...]

Here's a collection of photos from around Reykjavik during the Airwaves weekend including the hangover party at the Blue Lagoon. FatCat Records had a large amount of artists playing up in Iceland at the festival this year including Mazes, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Maps & Atlases and also artists from their fascinating post-classical imprint 130701 such as the sublime Jóhann Jóhannsson and Dustin O'Halloran. To mark the festival FatCat have two impressive and free compilation album downloads available, one from the label itself and one of the 130701 imprint and both can be downloaded for nothing [...]

We Were Promised Jetpacks have premiered their video for "Human Error." The song comes from the Scottish band's 2011 album, In the Pit of the Stomach and it was directed by Michael Sherrington..
