The 'Gum Drop LXIV: Hear New Twilight Sad, Win A Monkey: Journey To The West Boxset
stereogum November 26, 2008 10:37 AM

The economy's been tricky everywhere, even Scrooge McDuck's homeland, so when the Twilight Sad went on tour with fellow Scots Mogwai, they put together the Goo-referencing The Twilight Sad Killed My Parents And Hit The Road, a limited-edition collection of covers, live tracks, and instrumentals to help fund the trip. The quartet takes on the Smiths, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Joy Division via Closer's "Twenty Four Hours," which shows up as this week's Drop. We asked guitarist Andy MacFarlane about his band's Ian Curtis impression: Read his responses and take a listen.
By the by, The Twilight Sad Killed My Parents And Hit The Road is available for pre-order via the FatCat USA webstore.
In this week's Drop, we also offered the chance to win a limited-edition Monkey: Journey To The West vinyl boxset designed by Gorillaz's Jamie Hewlett.
