Following on from last month's single Designed To Lose, Scotland’s The Twilight Sad have today unveiled their powerful new effort, ATTEMPT A CRASH LANDING - THEME. Taken from their long-awaited sixth LP 'IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE', due out 27th March via Rock Actions Records, the track sees the band pick up where they left off with towering percussion, soaring vocal sections and hardened lyrics. On the new album, singer/lyricist James Graham explained, “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 below.
