The Twilight Sad

DF Concerts are bringing Scottish indie rock band The Twilight Sad to the Pavilion on Saturday 13 September. The band describes their sound as “folk with layers of noise” and music critics have described them as “a band that injects some real emotion and dynamic excitement into a comparatively standard template” – also as “perennially unhappy”!

The Twilight Sad comprises James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar) and Mark Devine (drums). Their 2007 debut album, “Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters”, drew widespread acclaim from critics and the band toured for the album across Europe and the United States throughout 2007 and 2008. Sessions inspired by stripped-down and reworked live performances yielded the 2008 mini-album, “Here, it Never Snowed. Afterwards it Did”.

Their second album, “Forget the Night Ahead”, marked a shift in the band’s direction; lyrically more personal and musically darker and more streamlined, it was released in 2009 to further acclaim. The Twilight Sad’s third album, “No One Can Ever Know”, was released in February 2012 and marked another stylistic shift to a darker, sparser sound.

Over 14s only – under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
