Scissor Sisters have returned with their new single ‘Only
The Horses’, and release their fourth album ‘Magic Hour’. “It’s a sweet joyful
mélange of beat-driven future-pop,” says flamboyant singer Jake Shears of
‘Magic Hour’. “It style-hops all over the place unabashedly.” Magic Hour is the
result of a series of team-ups between Scissor Sisters - Shears, Babydaddy, Ana
Matronic, Del Marquis and Randy Real - and a whole host of stellar artists,
writers and producers, including Azealia, Banks, Calvin Harris, Stuart Price,
Pharrell Williams, Diplo and Alex Rihda, the German electronic music producer
and DJ behind BoysNoize. With all these funky names, one would expect an upbeat
CD, but no. Magic Hour is, in fact, the group's most low-key and ballad-centric
album to date, with only a few cuts that approach the hyperactive, ultra-camp
thrills of songs like "Filthy/Gorgeous", "Paul McCartney",
and "Invisible Light". It's a great new release from the American
dolly rockers and a defiantly yes on our CD list.
