The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know

Review by Jazz Monroe

Purer than innocence and richer than gold, No One Can Ever Know confirms that The Twilight Sad are simply too good to remain a-little-less-than-well-known outside the restrictive realms of slightly-less-than-world-conqering ’zines.»

The Twilight Sad announce details of their new long-player ‘No One Can Ever Know’, the follow-up to 2009’s acclaimed break-through ‘ForgetThe Night Ahead’. ‘No One Can Ever Know’ is released across all formats on 6th February 2012, full tracklist as follows: ‘Alphabet’/ ‘Dead City’/ ‘Sick’/ ‘Don’t Move’/ ‘Nil’/ ‘Don’t Look At Me’/ ‘Not Sleeping’/ ‘Another Bed’/ ‘Kill It In The Morning’. Already flagged by the widely leaked ‘Kill It In The Morning’ and forthcoming first single proper, ‘Sick’ (November 14th), ‘No One Can EverKnow’ marks a sonic shift for The Twilight Sad. Freshly inspired by a listening diet of Caberet Voltaire, Liars, Magazine, Autechre, Banshees, Fad Gadget, PiL and Can, a synth-heavy sound characterizes ‘No One Can Ever Know’, a record thematically akin to the Manics ‘Holy Bible’, Depeche Mode’s ‘Violator’ and Nine Inch Nails’ ‘The Downward Spiral’.
