The Twilight Sad Release New Single Featuring The Cure's Robert Smith

The Twilight Sad have released a new single titled "Waiting For The Phone Call," featuring guitar by The Cure's Robert Smith. The song is a deeply personal and autobiographical track that explores themes of grief, love, and mental illness, inspired by singer James Graham's experience of losing someone important and his struggles with emotional health. This marks the band's first new material since their 2019 album, with a follow-up record anticipated. The band has also announced an extensive UK and European headline tour for April and May 2026, followed by performances as special guests to The Cure in the summer. Robert Smith, a long-time supporter of The Twilight Sad, has praised the band for their emotional intensity and consistency, and his collaboration adds significant intensity to the track. The release and tour underscore The Twilight Sad's continued close relationship with The Cure and their ongoing evolution as a band.
