THE TWILIGHT SAD
I Became A Prostitute
DOWNLOAD: I Became A Prostitute
It’s been a couple of years since Glasgow’s The Twilight Sad have shown up on The List, but with leaks popping up everywhere from their new album, Forget The Night Ahead, I dare say a lot of folks are really looking forward to October when it drops. The first single, ‘I Became A Prostitute’, isn’t even supposed to be released until August 3rd, but like I said, leaks happen! And while the quality of this one ain’t gonna win any awards, the droney wall-of-noise guitar runs, James Graham’s Morrissey-on-downers vocals and the total feeling of hopelessness and melancholy we’ve all come to expect from The Twilight Sad hits you like a shovel to the head and just makes me wanna pick up the CD even more. You can head over to MySpace for a bit more Sadness and as a bonus, here’s the extremely dark (and sexy) video that accompanies the song…..
i saw these guys twice recently, when they pulled support duty for Mogwai (twice because Mogwai is the most amazing band going right now, and they mixed up the set lists perfectly). i liked their 2nd performance better, but neither stuck w/ me in a ‘holy crap where’s the merch table’ sorta way.
in the inevitable spam mode, here are some shots from night #2:
