Killed My Parents and Hit the Road

The Twilight Sad Killed My Parents And Hit The Road is an exclusive release from The Twilight Sad. This is a collection of new songs, covers, instrumentals, previously unreleased material and live tracks recorded at the ABC in Glasgow, highlights the power, versitility and raw intensity of their live sound.

The release includes live recordings of four songs from Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, their debut album released in 2007. The album was met with extensive critical acclaim; Plan B described it as a “melancholy, beautiful and strong [voice] competing with a near overwhelming, organic tumble of shoe-gaze combining ancient Scottish folk music, frost brittle and cymbal heavy drumming…A dark achievement”, and Rocksound commended as “startling in its perfect execution…even those impervious to the twin titans of melancholy indie-rock, Messrs Middleton and Moffat, are likely to be swept away by its epic embellishment of all known misery”. Though their influences ranging from Van Dyke Parks to Phil Spector, Daniel Johnston, as well as their immediate geography (“the sticks just outside Glasgow”), The Twilight Sad evoke a more familiar indie canon, from white-noise era Creation Records, to fellow Scots Arab Strap or Mogwai
