THE TWILIGHT SAD
Killed My Parents and Hit the Road
(Fat Cat)
By Todd Lavoie
Get it while you still can: Scottish snarlers the Twilight Sad recently released their limited-edition odds-and-sods gather-up Killed My Parents and Hit the Road, and as it turns out, this is much more than just a stopgap until the next album.
Rather, the EP is a fine showcase for the band’s formidable abilities in interpreting the work of others, as well as their impressive know-how in ramping up the drama onstage. There are also a couple of previously unreleased tracks that have left fans a-foaming in speculation over whether or not the songs are sneak-previews of what’s next for the group. Originally available only at stops on the combo’s autumn tour last year, it is now for sale on the label’s Web site, www.fat-cat.co.uk. Better snag one soon – or else your only option might be eBay.
