Stop the presses, throw your phone into the lake, unplug your internet right this very instance because with their sophomore LP Forget the Night Ahead Scotland’s the Twilight Sad have accomplished the impossible and crafted a swirling, haunting, incredible followup to their already seminal debut Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters. Why are you reading this and not listening to this album? Delivering on the promise of the fantastic early singles “I Became a Prostitute” and “Reflection of the Television”, Forget the Night Ahead feels in many ways a tighter, more furiously focused record in contrast to the meandering codas that defined their earlier works, though instrumental tracks like “Scissors” illuminate the fact that the group still has a lot to say in the context of fuzz and feedback. Tracks like “That Room” and “Seven Years of Letters” present a band that has become comfortable with its strengths, relying primarily on a flurry of guitar wails, loud-quiet-loud explosions, and James Graham’s inimitable voice. Truly a work of art and one of the absolute best releases of the year, bar-none.
