This is the first song from their upcoming EP. You can pre-order it on their myspace page.
I really really love them. Saw them finally for the first time in Paradiso last year November and it was my best gig of 2009.
They've also done a cool Mogwai (another fantastic band) mix of their own "The Room".

I remember it was you mimmi who gave me mp3s of their limited compilation album last year - not available in the shops I think.
This band are brilliant - incredibly underrated. I don't understand the fascination with fellow Scottish bands like Biffy Clyro and Glasvegas yet people don't recognise this bunch.
Anyway, what a brilliant tune - I'll be getting this EP no doubt.

Yes, I remember that, matt. It was their "Killed My Parents And Hit The Road" EP which was made to fund their tour with Mogwai in 2008, Including 2 brilliant coves of The Smiths and Joy Division. It's only available at their gig. I completely agree with you saying they're incredibly underrated. Too shame to be ignored, such a fantastic band. I remember seeing Glasvegas in November 2008. I loved their songs and album, but their live performance was really poor, compared to The Twilight Sad, I found Glasvegas were fake. I'm going to buy this new EP too.

The Twilight Sad will be on the road again next month and October. If you like them, go to see them. Trust me, you won't regret.

Great link! I really appreciate this. These are just one of those bands who for whatever reason don't get the media coverage. I've only been listening to them for six months. Very clever musicians. I will be a the Manchester show! Thanks Mimmi! x

It might sound crazy, but to me, they don't need to be huge. I love the way they are and how they work, how they create their music and I really hope they'll stay how they used to be and how they are now.
You'll love their gig, sword.
