Ready to kick-start the year, The Twilight Sad have dusted themselves down as they gear up to release their first new album in seven years, today announcing their long-awaited sixth LP 'IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE', due out 27th March via Rock Actions Records. Coinciding with the news, the band share the record's latest single Designed To Lose - a cathartic track that scintillates in to life through brazen guitar layers and soaring vocal choruses. “It had to contain every element of emotion I was feeling,” says singer/lyricist James Graham. “In the past I’ve used a lot of metaphors within my lyrics. With this, there’s not as much. The record is heavily influenced by my mental health, grief and loss, and the need to be strong in positions where you’re not feeling it. It’s a very human story, I think – this is just my version of it. I feel that everybody goes through something like this. Everybody loses somebody. Everybody questions life.” Take a listen to the new single below.
