The return of Twilight Sad… with Robert Smith

Twilight Sad hadn’t released a song in seven years. An important contribution was needed to embellish their return – and who if not a friend like Robert Smith? The Cure frontman therefore participated in the creation of “Waiting for the phone call”, a song focused on waiting for a phone call that no one would ever want to receive.

Through techno pop and with the help of Smith, the Scottish band delivers an autobiographical story between pain, love and mental illness, says singer James Graham:

These things took over my life and I became ill. I lost the most important person to me in the cruelest way possible. I have always used writing as a way to process and deal with my emotions, but they became a problem and I couldn’t control them. Writing music with Andy… especially over the last seven years has been both an escape and an opportunity to process and try to make sense of life. We have all been waiting for a phone call that could change our lives. Unfortunately this song is about a phone call that no one would ever want to receive.

In addition to the single, the band announced a tour in the UK and Europe with a single Italian date, April 12th at the Legend Club in Milan. Support stages for the Cure will follow in June and July.
