The Twilight Sad

The Twilight Sad is a Scottish post-punk/indie rock band known for their dense sonic landscapes, eloquent lyricism, and raw emotional power. Formed in 2003 in Kilsyth, a town near Glasgow, the band consists of James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar/production), and Brendan Smith (keyboards). Initially joined by Mark Devine on drums, the group's lineup has evolved over the years. The Twilight Sad's music is characterized by its expansive sound, with MacFarlane's guitar work ranging from reverb-drenched melancholy to searing intensity, underlined by the group's adept use of synths and electronics, and anchored by Graham's distinctive Scottish brogue, often conveying themes of introspection and vulnerability.

The band's body of work is a chronicle of constant evolution, reflected in their impressive discography. Their debut album, "Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters," released in 2007, immediately resonated with fans and critics alike for its honest and heartrending storytelling set against a backdrop of turbulent, atmospheric instrumentals. The Twilight Sad has since built a celebrated catalog, with albums such as "Nobody Wants to Be Here & Nobody Wants to Leave" and their most recent studio album, "IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME." The latter, released in 2019, was revered for its darkly anthemic tracks like 'VTr' and 'I/m Not Here [missing face].' Their live shows are known for their intensity and have earned them a loyal following, a sentiment captured in their live album, "IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME (LIVE)." Evolving with each release, The Twilight Sad continues to push boundaries and elicit strong emotional responses from an ever-growing fan base.
