Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did
''Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did'' is a mini-album by Scottish indie rock band The Twilight Sad, released on 9 June 2008. At an acoustic performance promoting the record, singer James Graham noted that the band could have released another single from ''Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters'' but ultimately decided to release a fresh batch of recordings instead. The record includes four alternative versions of tracks taken from their debut album, ''Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters'', and two new songs: a cover of Daniel Johnston's "Some Things Last a Long Time" and the title track, "Here It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did," a song written for their first album but never used. Concerning the re-recording of older material, guitarist Andy MacFarlane explained: Former Aereogramme guitarist Iain Cook recorded, mixed and mastered the record, while former Aereogramme bassist Campbell McNeil plays on the opening track "And She Would Darken the Memory".

The Twilight Sad
The Twilight Sad are a Scottish post-punk/indie rock band, comprising James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane (guitar), Johnny Docherty (bass), Brendan Smith (keyboards) and Grant Hutchison (drums). They have released five studio albums, as well as several EPs, live recordings and singles. Their 2007 debut album, '' Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters'', drew widespread acclaim from critics, who noted Graham's thick Scottish accent and MacFarlane's dense sonic walls of shoegazing guitar and wheezing accordion. The Twilight Sad's notoriously loud live performances have been described as "completely ear-splitting", and the band toured for the album across Europe and the United States throughout 2007 and 2008. Sessions inspired by stripped-down and reworked live performances yielded the 2008 mini-album, '' Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did''. The band's second album, ''Forget the Night Ahead'', marked a shift in their direction; lyrically more personal and musically darker and ...

Daniel Johnston
Daniel Dale Johnston (January 22, 1961 – September 11, 2019) was an American singer, musician and artist regarded as a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes. Most of his work consisted of cassettes recorded alone in his home, and his music was frequently cited for its "pure" and "childlike" qualities. Johnston spent extended periods in psychiatric institutions and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He garnered a local following in the 1980s by passing out tapes of his music while working at a McDonald's in Dobie Center in Austin, Texas. His cult status was propelled when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was seen wearing a T-shirt that featured artwork from Johnston's 1983 cassette album ''Hi, How Are You''. Johnston also created visual art, and his illustrations were exhibited at galleries around the world. His struggles with mental illness were the subject of the 2005 documentary ''The Devil and Daniel Johnston''. He died in 2019 of a suspected hear ...
