In an interview with The Skinny earlier this week, The Twilight Sad said they didn’t intend ever to make the same album twice. Bands often say that, only to go and make exactly the same album twice or three times more. But ‘Another Bed’ suggests that the Scottish miserablists really have veered away from the Fourteen Autumns/Forget The Night Ahead template rather dramatically.
‘Anti-producer’ Andrew Weatherall’s fingerprints are all over this, with industrially regimented drums and layer upon layer of darkwave synth. The waves of distorted guitar are gone, replaced with a broadside of analogue electronics. The result is both fascistic and ornate, like the soundtrack to a Fellini interpretation of a Lanarkshire Nuremberg.
‘Another Bed’ is taken from the band’s forthcoming third album, No One Can Ever Know, out 6 Feb on Fat Cat.
