The Twilight Sad announce new single 'It Never Was the Same', due to land on June 15th....
"It’s not until you assemble – no, grow, because this is nothing if not organic – the whole thing, that the jaw-dropping brilliance of the album reveals itself." - Drowned in Sound (10/10)
"The group's 4th LP more than justifies [their] ascension. Where there were youthful, wayward meanderings, Graham has emerged a man, exorcising the sorrows of lessons learnt
along the way." - The Quietus
"Simple but effective, the lyrics are bleak, bitter phrases of existential loneliness and torment. His emotion hits just as potently throughout." - NME (8/10)
Following on from last year's widely acclaimed fourth album, Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave, Scotland's The Twilight Sad today return with the news that a third single from the album, 'It Never Was the Same', will see a June 15th release on Fat Cat Records. It comes bolstered by the fact the AA-side will also include a cover of album highlight 'There's a Girl in the Corner' by The Cure's Robert Smith.
It's a perfect way to cap off what's been a whirlwind period for the band with Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave drawing rave reviews from publications including the Sunday Times, the Quietus and Q, alongside topping Drowned in Sound's best albums of 2014 and earning a rare perfect 10 from the site, finishing second in The Skinny's list, third in Popmatters' indie rock albums of the year, and topping Any Decent Music's Scottish albums of the year; touring extensively across both the United States and Europe; and a string of very well-received performances at this year's SXSW reiterating the band's ongoing relevance on either side of the Atlantic.
Later this month, the band embark on a string of UK headline dates - full details of which, as well as ticket links, can be seen below. You can hear 'It Never Was the Same' here, and a 30-second preview of the Robert Smith cover of 'There's a Girl in the Corner' here. The limited run 7" version of the single will be available from June 15th on Fat Cat Records and can be pre-ordered from April 13th.
