Following the release of their new single, “I/m Not Here [missing face],” via their new home of Rock Action Records, today Glasgow’s The Twilight Sad share the song’s accompanying visuals directed by the band’s Brendan Jay Smith and edited by Michael Sherrington.
Speaking of the video, Smith says, “When Andy and I came across the footage, we both immediately felt that it was the right fit for “I/m Not Here [hidden face].” I was really interested in the idea that our memories are often confused and influenced by what we recall from old camcorder footage. Sometimes it’s difficult to work out how you feel about an experience and other times it’s etched in a recurring visual that degrades over time.”
Watch the video below.
The band’s recent signing to Rock Action – a home for so much rich, deserving music, particularly in the band’s native Scotland – feels like something of a homecoming for The Twilight Sad. Speaking of the union, Graham says, “To be able to say that we’re on that record label, to try and give something back for all the good faith they’ve had in us over the years. Mogwai took us on tour early on, introduced us to Robert [Smith]. They’ve been a through line for us and I’m excited to be a part of that label.”
