"'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.

"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 released 'Waiting for the Phone Call,' their first new song in seven years, featuring Robert Smith of the Cure on guitar. The recording also includes Alex Mackay (Mogwai) and David Jeans alongside core members James Graham and Andy MacFarlane. The song centers on grief, love, and mental illness, describing the loss of an important person and using songwriting as a method of processing emotions. The past seven years of music served as escape and therapy. The band will tour with the Cure in June and July across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany, plus a European run of dates.
