Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen

INDIE
After causing a huge underground following with their US-only released EP the hotly tipped Scottish four-piece are set to release their debut album! THE TWILIGHT SAD recall White Noiseera Creation records , MOGWAI and ARAB STRAP, working with the renowned PETER KATIS (INTERPOL, MERCURY REV, MICE PARADE) for ‘ Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters’ and hailed by the infamous SPIN.COM & PITCHFORK MEDIA to be"f
cking transcendent"
Epic in scope and equally as intense, the band are inspired by a diverse range of music from VAN DYKE PARKS to PHIL SPECTOR, DANIEL JOHNSTON, and beyond, although the band are as influenced by their immediate geography (‘the sticks just outside Glasgow’), as they are any particular musical reference points.
The Twilight Sad are unmistakeably their own band, and 'Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters ' is a complete record, the nine tracks working together to create a strong narrative flow. Deceptively simple songs are rendered transcendent. Bleached, overdriven guitars consistently ride a line between ambient and coruscating, working in tandem with an articulate, at times tumultuous rhythm section, forever poised between tension and release. Augmented by piano and more frequently accordion, which provide the songs with a dramatic swoon, The Twilight Sad purvey an awestruck, ragged sentimentality. Lyrically suggestive and metaphorical, their songs give glimpses of bitter experience and romantic failure, their songs at times verging on the anthemic or celebrative, yet firmly rooted in the familiar. è Where the band’s recorded sound is layered with many melodies, their live sound is a more intense experience which replaces the intricacies of the recordings with a more visceral wall of noise on the live fray.
