Album of the Week - February 15, 2010 ~ Forget the Night Ahead by The Twilight Sad

Driving Scottish rockers, The Twilight Sad, offer up the album of the week.  The band strikes me as musically similar to Interpol and the Psychedelic Furs (though heavier), yet thankfully their Scottish accents come through.  For some reason, it seems some Celtic rockers loose their accent or brogue when singing, and delightfully, these gents do not.

From Wikipedia:

The Twilight Sad is an indie rock band fromKilsyth, Scotland, comprising James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar) and Mark Devine (drums). The band have released two full-length albums. Their 2007 debut, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters, drew widespread critical acclaim^[1], while their second album,Forget the Night Ahead, was released in 2009.


This album features Seven Years of Letters and Reflection of the Television which are getting deserved airtime.  I Became a Prostitute reminds me the most of Interpol, though The Twilight Sad definitely has their own sound.  If you like any of these other bands, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Keane or U2, I think you have to check these guys out.
