Killed My Parents And Hit The Road

whux This is the song that originally got me hooked onto the band all so many years ago, so it's only fitting that it has taken up a special place in my heart. Favorite track: And She Would Darken The Memory.

Michael Weeks My first exposure to them courtesy of a friend who shared the Joy Division cover. This album started my love of them that gets more intense to this day. A great intro to the beginning arc of this band that continues to evolve and grow into the legends they deserve to be. Favorite track: That Summer, At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy.

about

The Twilight Sad release ‘Killed My Parents And Hit The Road’ now on vinyl for the first time.

With the majority of tracks mixed and mastered by Iain Cook of Aerogramme, ‘Killed My Parents And Hit The Road’ encompasses the bands’ bare, unfeigned use of melancholy with rousing, epic intensity, never straying too far from hitting sentimental nerves. Throughout the record, melodies stagger between feedback-laden instrumentals and rich, seemingly effortless acoustic ballads, each accented by Graham’s strong Scottish tones, creating a collection of songs that are as intriguing as they are engulfing. Alongside their own tracks, the band have chosen to cover songs by Joy Division (‘Twenty Four Hours’), Yeah Yeah Yeahs (‘Modern Romance’) and The Smiths (‘Half A Person’), providing greater scope into the tracks’ pensive and wistful subjects, whilst retaining the stirring and engaging qualities of the originals.

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
