The Twilight Sad will reissue their utterly delightful debut ‘Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters‘ for this year’s Record Store Day on Saturday, 19th April.
“We’re very proud of our debut album,” frontman James Graham says. “I’ve said this many times before but you only get one chance at making your first album and whilst ours didn’t set the world on fire or sell hundreds of thousands of copies, I think it’s a special record that means a lot to the people who have discovered it.”
A deluxe, remastered double vinyl edition of the album, limited to 500 copies at select UK independent music shops on Record Store Day, is to offer unreleased tracks and previously unseen artwork. To mark the release, the band are offering a free download of their recent Paisley Abbey show with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra over at this link.
Finally, ‘Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters’ will be performed in full during a five-date tour of the UK, the details of which are as follows:
Tue 29th Apr @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
Wed 30th Apr @ Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, London
Thu 1st May @ Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, London
Fri 2nd May @ The Deaf Institute, Manchester
Sat 3rd May @ Exchange, Bristol
I’ve posted about this great news on L4E forum a while ago.
I’ve been listening to them since 2007. A fantastic band. I love them so much that somewhere deep in my heart I don’t want them to be “huge” (you know what I mean?). I’m gonna get “Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winter” vinyl re-issue on this year’s RSD. Definitely!
PS: and I love their live album with Royal National Scottish Orchestra. Truly beautiful.
