It’s been four years since The Twilight Sad‘s Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave was named Live4ever’s #1 album of 2014, a record bathed in widespread acclaim and whose touring solidified notable support – The Cure’s Robert Smith being lead cheerleader.
Now, the band have returned with a brand new single entitled I/m Not Here [missing face]. The track sees frontman James Graham examining his, ‘ongoing battle with not liking myself, constantly feeling like I’m failing myself and everyone I care about’. Andy MacFarlane adds:
“I was attempting to play ‘Ogives’ by Erik Satie, but I’m really shit at the piano so it didn’t happen, but I came up with the music using those chord shapes. So from my perspective, it’s a bad cover version of that piece of music.”
