No One Can Ever Know
Scottish tunesmiths emerge as future masters of mope.
Inhabiting the same murky, occasionally melodramatic world as the likes of Interpol, Editors and to a lesser extent Gene (remember them?), Scottish act The Twilight Sad are a genuine proposition. No One Can Ever Know is their third album and by and large it’s an ear-gasm inducing journey full of dark and twisted guitar-led threnodies. While at times the album is as fun as a dinner date with Morrissey in McDonald’s (‘Don’t Move’) the likes of ‘Alphabet’, ‘Sick’ and future indie disco staple ‘Another Bed’ are heart-swelling numbers that make the grade.
