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

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
