Twilight Sad worked up a nice, icy wall of noise on their cover of Joy Division’s “Twenty Four Hours.” Returning from their U.S. tour with fellow gentle feedbackers Mogwai, the Scottish quartet has some post Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters material that tackles noise in a different way. “Reflection Of The Television,” the lead track from the forthcoming Forget The Night Ahead, brings the distortion, but in a more elegant, less raucous way. Actually, James Graham sounds a bit more Smiths-y in his vocal line than we’ve ever heard him. Not counting when they covered “Half A Person,” of course, but this is louder than bombs.

Forget The Night Ahead is out 9/21 in the UK and 9/22 in the U.S., both via Fat Cat.

I love this band.
One of the best, most enjoyable bands making music right now. Great live show too!
agreed. I saw them a couple of times when they were making the rounds in SXSW ’07. I feel like that was ages ago. would love to see them again.
I saw them opening for Mogwai a couple of weeks ago and they were absolutely fantastic! They played a handful of new songs, actually, that sounded very, very good.
This one was the “quiet one” in the bunch. There was another one so fast and loud that I felt like I wanted to riot onto the stage. Fans can sleep well tonight knowing that they are not going soft on us.
Soooooo excited about this album.
Excellent! I can’t wait to hear the whole album.
Saw their headline show in DC a couple weeks ago (in addition to their Philly show supporting Mogwai). They played this song and 3-4 other new ones. All i can say is if you like Reflection of the Television, just wait till you hear the others. A couple of them are absolutely epic!!
I saw them as well a few weeks back. The new songs are phenomenal; I’ve been kicking a live bootleg of some of them. They may very well have recorded the best album of 2009…until Sept. 22…
Droooooool. I’ve been absolutely dying to hear something new from them and am so happy it’s finally coming. They’re brilliant. And all these EPs are such a tease!
I cant wait to hear the album either from this taster.
