Their second album, "Forget the Night Ahead", marked a shift in the band's direction; lyrically more personal and musically darker and more streamlined, it was released in 2009 to acclaim. Recording sessions for the album also produced the mid-2010 release "The Wrong Car", which followed the departure of founding bassist Craig Orzel in February 2010. The Twilight Sad's third album, "No One Can Ever Know", was released in February 2012 and marked another stylistic shift, with the band citing industrial music and krautrock influences for a darker, sparser sound. The band's fourth album, entitled "Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave", was released in late October 2014 to universally positive reviews, and was the band's last album with founding member Mark Devine, who left amicably in January 2018. The Twilight Sad's fifth studio album, "It Won/t Be Like This All the Time", was released in January 2019 to further critical acclaim.
