THE TWILIGHT SAD

The Twilight Sad announce details of their new long-player ‘No One Can Ever Know’, the follow-up to 2009’s acclaimed break-through ‘Forget The Night Ahead’. Freshly inspired by a listening diet of Caberet Voltaire, Liars, Magazine, Autechre, Banshees, Fad Gadget, PiL and Can, a synth-heavy sound characterizes ‘No One Can Ever Know’, a record thematically akin to ‘Holy Bible’ era Manics, ‘Violator’-era Depeche Mode and ‘The Downward Spiral’ -era Nine Inch Nails.

Under the guidance of Andrew Weatherall the band experimented with vintage analogue synths to work on the core sounds they wanted, finding inspiration too in the distinctive production style of innovators like Martin Hannett and Conny Plank. Lyrically ‘No One Can Ever Know’ finds singer James Graham on typically ominous form, delivering lightning bolts of malevolent threat. “I’ll find you – don’t worry” he promises on forthcoming single, ‘Another Bed’ – The Twilight Sad’s most radical and anthemic moment yet, it’s driving disco motorik and glacial keys pushing a dizzy emotional uplift.

“the outfit are fully deserving of praise in crafting one of the finest Scottish albums in years.” – The Skinny

LET’S WRESTLE

Let’s Wrestle are a London based trio who first burst onto the British music scene with their debut 7” release ‘Song for ABBA Tribute Band’. After touring with the likes of Fucked Up and Pete & The Pirates, they came to the attention of Stolen Records who released their debut album ‘In the Court of the Wrestling Let’s’, which was warmly received by critics and fans alike, drawing comparisons to The Fall and early Wedding Present among others.

‘Nursing Home’, the second album by Let’s Wrestle, was recorded in Chicago with Steve Albini. With themes that include being trapped in the suburbs and dancing boys on drugs, the band show that their view of the world is the same, they’ve just put on some darker sunglasses.

“‘Nursing Home’ is a gloriously propulsive step forward for the band, a brilliant collision of garage punk and instantly addictive harmonies.” – amazingtunes.com
