An excuse to revisit an album if you already love»

Almost a year since the release of their acclaimed fourth album 'Nobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave', Scotland's The Twilight Sad return with the 'Oran Mor' Session LP: a collection of reworked, stripped-back versions of tracks from the album, b-sides and a cover of Arthur Russell's 'I Couldn't Say It To Your Face'. The sessions act as something of a means to recap and reflect on what's been a whirlwind past year for the band, with 'Nobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave' earning rave reviews from publications including The Sunday Times, The Quietus and Q, alongside topping Drowned in Sound's best albums of 2014 and earning a rare perfect ten from the site, finishing second in The Skinny's list, third in Popmatters' indie rock albums of the year and topping Any Decent Music's Scottish albums of the year.description from www.roughtrade.com
