As the Twilight Sad prepare to replace Fuck Buttons as
Mogwais touring partners, the dour Scots (the Twilight Sad, not Mogwai) have readied a new release for the road. Titled The Twilight Sad Killed My Parents and Hit the Road (and yes, the cover art is a nod to Raymond Pettibones illustration for Sonic Youths Goo), the limited edition offering finds the band collecting a pile of live tracks, instrumentals and covers, some of which look more than just a little sweet.
On the covers front, the Twilight Sad take on the Smiths "Half a Person, Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Modern Romance and a Joy Division track, "Twenty Four Hours, thankfully not yet another redo of "Love Will Tear Us Apart. As for the live material, its all previously unreleased and recorded at ABC, Glasgow, and the instrumentals are, well, instrumentals.
The downside to all this is that it appears this might be a tour-only affair, and with no live dates scheduled for Canada, you may have to buckle down and pay some inflated eBay prices if you want a physical copy.
