PALINDROME
[rehearsal]
No good winking at the fashionable plate,
She’s the least likely to make a break.
It’s not that your approach is too abrupt,
She hasn’t had the chance to size your wallet up.
History is written in the buff,
But by the time you read it it’s all window dressing stuff.
The mannequins may get a change of clothes,
But look, they’re in the self-same pose.
No good winking at the fashionable plate,
She’s the least likely to make a break.
It’s not that your approach is too abrupt,
She hasn’t had the chance to size your wallet up!

It's a tough thing to choose a top track from a set that includes such exquisite gems as the mysterious folk-blues of "Red Boat," and Medford's beautiful rendition of "Janine." But it's the crystalline version of (the usually nervy) "the Big (Myopian)" that takes the cake in the end. Carl Salbacka
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
Twilight Sad present a collection of songs recorded across their 2019 tour which perfectly capture the band’s volcanic live presence. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2020
