The third album from brooding Scottish rockers The Twilight Sad places the lads somewhere between The Smiths and Editors. Shadowy romantic tunes like "Alphabet" and methodically twittering, sparsely lit "Sick" paint a stark, enveloping soundscape. The album is a stark, mesmerizing listen that is hard to escape, with songs like the murky "Not Sleeping" and humming synth and rumbling bass of "Another Bed" grabbing hold tight and refusing to let go. The creaky grumble of "Don't Move", awash in swirling organ discord and a steady bass groove, and the dramatic wail of "Don't Look At Me" give the shadowy album a surprisingly diverse sound.
Seek: "Sick", "Another Bed", "Don't Move"
