The Twilight Sad
Sick 7''

Rating: 6 vegetarian haggis out of 10
The write-up on the label website says "Freshly inspired by the likes of Magazine, Caberet Voltaire, Fad Gadget,
PiL and Can, a sound has developed that is reminiscent of Depeche Mode,
Nine Inch Nails or The Cure in their imperial phases." I dunno, it sounds like regular ol' Twilight Sad to these untrained ears. Which is totally fine with me, for the record.
This seven inch has "Sick" on the front side and "Untitled #67 (Demo)" on the back, and apparently both of these songs are also going to be on their forthcoming full-length (the b-side in non-demo form I'd wager), so I can't imagine anyone but the most die-hard of fans are going to spring for this release. Again, not that the songs are bad, just that the sort of person to buy a seven inch is also going to buy the record, and this doesn't offer a lot of added value. But I am looking forward to the full length after hearing this.
