new Twilight Sad song and tour

T&G favourites The Twilight Sad are finally close to releasing their long awaited second album, the follow up to 2007's awesome 'Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters'. No release date yet, but September is the rumour.

Gideon Coe played a song from the album, entitled 'Downstairs', on wednesday night on 6 Music. You can hear the song by using the 'listen again' feature on said radio station's website. It sounds unsurprisingly brilliant, tense, dark and powerful. There's definitely a bit of Joy Division in there. Sounds like they have gone with the slow, brooding sound that they used on the 'Here It Never Snowed...' EP but who knows what the rest of the record sounds like?
