Click HERE to listen. Acclaim for IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE: “The Twilight Sad’s first album since reducing to founding duo James Graham and Andy MacFarlane yields the most powerful version of the band’s cathartic soundworld... a transcendent blend of New Order, MBV and The Cure... Summoning bright light from the heart of darkness, Robert Smith’s protégés have done him proud.” MOJO - 4 stars **** “Pristine, unrestrained alternative rock symphonies... The record is very much about Andy MacFarlane’s orchestration of their grand, dramatic, often raucous guitar sound, alongside singer James Graham’s spirit-dredging lyrical honesty... Their best album yet.” Record Collector - 4 stars **** “A visceral collection of tracks... These are songs as therapy - about alienation and inner turmoil, rich in metaphor, with Graham’s evocative Scottish brogue capable of sounding tender and threatening against guitarist Andy MacFarlane’s turbulent guitar.” The Guardian (feature) “It’s The Long Goodbye is deeply personal and as vulnerable as it is ferocious. A devastating blend of crashing shoegaze, subtle electronic and melancholic soundscapes. A powerful and truly wonderful return from The Twilight Sad.” Clash - 9/10 IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE is both cathartic and inspirational... an astonishing body of work that firmly emphasizes what an important band The Twilight Sad are. This might just be the band’s masterpiece.” Under The Radar - 9
