The Twilight Sad release new track, "Waiting For The Phone Call" featuring The Cure's Robert Smith

Commentating on the track singer and lyricist James Graham says: “Waiting For The Phone Call is about grief, love, and mental illness. These things took over my life and I became ill. I lost the person most important to me in one of the cruellest ways. I’ve always used writing as a method of processing and coping with my emotions. My emotions became a problem and I couldn’t control them, writing music with Andy… especially the past seven years had been both the escape and the opportunity to process and try and make sense of life. We’ve all been waiting on a phone call that can change our lives at some point. This unfortunately focuses on a phone call that you never want to have.”

The Twilight Sad have announced news of an extensive UK & EU headline tour for April and May 2026 including a performance at the Roundhouse in London. This will be followed by a handful of dates performing as special guests to The Cure in June and July.

Robert Smith has one been one of The Twilight Sad’s biggest supporters over the past decade, taking the band on tour with The Cure, covering their music, and including The Twilight Sad in his Meltdown Festival lineup back in 2018.
