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 [...]
No One Can Ever Know is the third full length from the boys from Kilsyth, Scotland and with a mysterious yet fashionable sound, this album is the most accessible yet.
I was so excited to find a prerelease of The new Twilight Sad CD yesterday in my inbox. I'm loving their evolving sound, especially the 802s Factory-esque synths. I'm hoping Phil might right up a full album review soon, but in the meantime, you'll find a link to my favorite track, "Another Bed" after the [...]
The Twilight Sad ditch the guitar scream and rumbling choruses for a darker, more sinister...
![[Review/Listen] – We Were Promised Jetpacks – "In The Pit Of The Stomach"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3908776_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album on Amazon - Vinyl | MP3 | CD We Were Promised Jetpacks released their high-spirited debut "These Four Walls" in 2009 under their current label, Fat Cat Records, and quickly caught the attention of hordes of indie listeners with their first single, "Quiet Little Voices" . The Edinburgh, Scotland ensemble produce a sound that calls to mind [...]
Dean Tzenos and his Odonus Odonus lot premiered their new video for "Ledged Up" off their debut LP Hollandaze today. continue reading >>
With the news surfacing that lo-fi songstress U.S. Girls had signed to FatCat, only moments after her LP Girls on Kraak was released on Kraak , (see what she did?), it appears the artist is turning heads in the industry. The first single to come from the record is a detachment from her other efforts, yet no less gratifying. Her hiccup-like vocals and brooding synth work give the whole thing a pained and troubling edge. The new 7" single also comes with a self-directed video; it's not as good [...]
Twilight Sad have released the second mp3 form their forthcoming record 'No one can ever know'. Kill It In The Morning is a bit of a slow burner but it builds and builds to something suitably dark and broody. Perfect sound of early November. And James Graham sounds as broadly Scottish as ever. Seal of approval from here... What you think? Listen to the track right here: The [...]
Here's the October 29th installment of the Sirius XMU Download 15 playlist. Jake Fogelnest picks 'em and plays 'em, and I find 'em and post 'em. A match made in heaven. This week I also embedded most of the tracks via sound cloud. Useful? Leave me a comment below to let me know... We also [...]

Today we have a special Under The Influence/Track Of The Day double header for you! The whole point of the 'Under The Influence' series is to dig a bit deeper into the music that influenced the band in question, and by providing you with a track from the band themselves, you'll be able to see the connection between the two. The amazing Odonis Odonis are set to release their new album, Hollandaze , on November 7th through FatCat records, and although the following track 'Fixed Things' isn't taken from the [...]
We Were Promised Jetpacks – In the Pit of the Stomach MMM 1/2 When Scottish post-punk/post-rock band We Were Promised Jetpacks broke into the international scene a few years ago, some wondered if this was another case of a band with a charming, fun name but not much else past that. And while the name might have drawn people to the band initially, it was their promising 2009 debut, These Four Walls , that kept people hanging around. With post-punk's [...]
In advance of next month's short European tour (confirmed dates after the break), Berlin-based Norwegian Silje Nes has released a great new video. Created in the unusual portrait format, it was... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Earlier on this year Breton toured with Tom Vek, a well-suited support slot. Not long after the tour they headed over to Iceland to record their debut album at the Sundlaugin Studio, owned by Sigur Ros. I am expecting an awesome debut album if teaser "The Commission" is anything to go by. "The Commission" is a won... Read more..
The Twilight Sad have shared a new song entitled "Kill It In the Morning" from their forthcoming album, No One Can Ever Know , scheduled for release in February 2012 on Fat Cat Records. The new album is the band's third studio full-length overall and follows 2009's excellent Forget the Night Ahead . Hear/download the track below. The Twilight Sad have always been characterized by a rather moody sound, but "Kill It In the Morning" sounds particularly sinister. It begins with strokes of dissonant [...]
There are fundamental tenets of the universe. Trees decay. Cars rust. Stars supernova. What's ordered becomes chaotic. What's new becomes old. What's certain becomes unknown. The same ideas apply to the music world, especially when an artists decides that their current gig just doesn't work with some of their new ideas. And just as entropy drives a bright ball of hydrogen to become so massive that it implodes on itself in a burst of stellar energy, it can also drive the wandering musician to risk branching out on their own with the solo project. Dean Tzenos, formerly of [...]
Sunny, poppy indie artists Milk Maid have released a follow up single to Not Me with Dead Wrong which also comes from their debut album Yucca. Admittedly I haven't got much more to say about Milk Maid that I haven't said before [likewise I probably can't express how much love I have for these guys and former Nine Black Alps bassist Martin Cohen either] but well these guys are quite simply - in the words a certain semi-misquoted wrestler- that da...

John Zorn Mix for FatCat Records Podcast It's the first time I've seen John Zorn do a mixtape, and boy it is good (and quite eclectic)!. The first part features exotica & soundtrack artists such as Les Baxter and Lesiman alongside Henry Purcell, free jazz from Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Beach Boys and more. There's also a Part 2 with more weirdness, like Ottoman music from Marko Melkon, Zamfir, Sinatra, Duke Ellington and bunch of artists whom I'll frankly admit to never hearing. Schooltime!
