The Twilight Sad: Fall tour dates, Memory single
The Twilight Sad has a relentless touring schedule for the fall, after returning home from a US tour. The Scottish rock band will open for the Smashing Pumpkins in front of a sold-out crowd on August 22 in their home town of Glasgow. Afterwards they will tour England and Ireland with Frightened Rabbit, who recently became label mates of The Twilight Sad on Fat Cat Records.
Not being satisfied to have two weeks in between tours, The Twilight Sad will perform eight shows in the US; Film School will join them on October 5 in St. Louis, Missouri. Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters was well received well by US media, with Pitchfork saying, “The Twilight Sad approach the darker side of growing up with consideration and dignity, and manage to maintain a proper perspective.” Insound honored it with, “Top Ten Records of the Year… so far.” In October The Twilight Sad will support Idlewild during a UK tour, a tour that will carry them into the fringes of November.
In anticipation of the forthcoming tours, The Twilight Sad released And She Would Darken The Memory Of Youth as a 7″ single. This is their second single from Fourteen Autumns…, and is only available in Europe.
“A standout track from ‘Fourteen Autumns…’, ‘And She Would Darken The Memory’ utilizes the bleached, overdriven guitar sound that has already become synonymous with the band, riding a line between ambient and coruscating, working in tandem with an articulate, at times tumultuous rhythm section, forever poised between tension and release. The B side, That Summer, At Home I Had Become 
The Invisible Boy’, remixed by Bjork collaborator / remixer Olivier Alary (aka Ensemble), is a subtle, attentive re-structuring of an an unlikely paean to disaffected youth.” (Fat Cat)
