The 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, Magazine, Autechre, and Public Image Ltd., the band turn to a dark and synth-heavy sound. Now the band further immerses itself in dark electronic impulses with a set of remixes from contemporaries including Liars, Optimo, Com Truise, Tom Furse of The Horrors, Ambassadeurs, Breton and more. The remixes open up the dark, crackling originals and add a pulsating snake of rhythm and an intriguing obfuscation of angry static and twitch. It’s a perfect compliment to the seething originals and a new side of the band that many fans will find endlessly enthralling.

Before joining the Fat Cat roster, Breton released three highly acclaimed EPs which have earned them an eager fanbase on their home turf the most recent being a 12″ on Hemlock Recordings, the label responsible for pioneering releases by Fantastic Mr. Fox, Mount Kimbie, and James Blake. From their base in South East London, a former bank now aptly named “bretonLABS” they can be found capturing and cataloguing a wealth of found sounds which they use in all of their audio-visual work as well as pioneering remixes for Local Natives, Chapel Club and Maps & Atlases. Top experimentations on their debut Other’s People Problems.

THE TWILIGHT SAD
No One Can Ever Know
As made clear already by widely-spread preview track Kill It In The Morning and first single Sick, The Twilight Sad‘s third full-length, No One Can Ever Know, marks 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 turn to a dark, synth-heavy sound for No One Can Ever Know. The resulting LP shares thematic and sonic space with the most innovative offerings from Depeche Mode, The Cure, or even Nine Inch Nails.
