Featured Artist: The Twilight Sad Forget the Night Ahead

Forget the Night Ahead, is the much anticipated, sophomore album from Scottish rockers, The Twilight Sad. The band has certainly stayed busy since the release of their acclaimed 2007 debut Fourteen Autumn, Fifteen Winters. Since then we’ve seen the band release a mini album Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did, and a collection of live tracks, covers and other previously unreleased songs “Killed My Parents and Hit the Road.” Throw a busy touring schedule into the mix, and it’s a wonder that the band was able to find enough time to hit the studio to record another full length.

The first thing that strikes me about Forget the Night Ahead, is that this release demands to be played loud. As fans of the band can attest, these tracks shine at volume, as the band makes a statement with feedback and walls of shimmering shoegaze. Its also interesting that while the style of the band has shifted away from their previous post-rock experimentations, the delivery is still the same. Quiet cedes to roaring walls of noise, with little warning. While past songs meandered, and built to climax, “Forget the Night Ahead” has been streamlined, almost stripped into something darker and more menacing. The band is no longer trying to draw you into the track with a beautiful melody, instead preferring an all out aural assault. Compare “Reflection of the Television,” to “Cold Days From the Birdhouse,” and you can see that the band is still after the same result, but simply taking a completely different approach. Gone is the accordion, glockenspiel and various kitschy instruments that have become expected on every indie release, replaced by good old fashioned feedback drenched riffage.

With The Twilight Sad, and the recently releasesd We Were Promised Jetpacks, we find the Scottish Guitar Army tradition alive and well. This is a must have for fans of anthemic, dark rock with a smattering of shoegaze.
