No One Can Ever Know

Available again in an all new repress, Twilight Sad's third full-length, "No One Can Ever Know," marked a sonic shift for the band. Freshly inspired by a listening diet of Cabaret Voltaire, Can, Liars, Magazine, Autechre, and Public Image Limited, the band turned to a dark, synth-heavy sound. The resulting LP shares thematic and sonic space with the most innovative offerings from Depeche Mode, The Cure, or even Nine Inch Nails. Guitarist Andy MacFarlane explains, "We wanted to be a lot more spontaneous, get outside our comfort zone - not to fall back into repeating what we've done previously." The band moved to London for a month to record at The Pool and got Andrew Weatherall involved to bounce ideas off and to reassure them of the direction they were progressing in - toward a sparser sound, with a colder, slightly militant feel.
