New Twilight Sad - "I Became A Prostitute"
Joining Beirut in the race for 2009's best hooker-titled song, BTW and OKX alum the Twilight Sad have lined up "I Became A Prostitute" as the second single from their forthcoming Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters followup, Forget The Night Ahead. It's track two from the album that's already impressed with the excellent "Reflection Of The Television," and another sample of the Scots' uncanny knack for steam-pressing smoldering, shoegazing guitars to anthemic, skyward bound choruses. James Graham doesn't fully explain how this song turned him into a whore, but as always his vocal, by turns tuneful and blistering, gets the benefit of that good gravitas that seems a birthright to the best Scottish accented singers. Hear it at MySpace. (via P4K)
The "I Became A Prostitute" will be available on 7" and digitally starting 8/3, and Forget The Night Ahead is out 9/22 (9/21 in the UK via FatCat.

Don't get the title. The song is a different story. Another winner!
By the way, I think the release date was moved to October.

A fantastic song. It'll probably end up one of my favorites once we can figure out what the hell he's saying.
