High rotation - SCISSOR SISTERS, "NIGHT WORK"

After the phenomenal success of 2006’s ARIA #1 album “Ta-Dah”, Scissor Sisters are back with their third album “Night Work” – and it’s everything we’ve come to expect, with a big heart and even bigger dance tunes!

The ‘Night Work’ story began after the band’s headline shows at London’s O2 in 2007, when the 5-piece went straight back in the studio. There could actually have been an album two years ago, says band member Babydaddy. “There was a lot of material, but it didn’t make sense. I only wanted Scissor Sisters to come back if there was a reason for us to come back, and if there had been enough of a change to fill up the airwaves.”

So the band decided to try some new things. Babydaddy learned to paint, vocalist Ana threw herself into creative writing and bassist/ lyricist Del released some music by himself. Vocalist Jake wrote a musical and traveled to Berlin. It was here that Jake immersed himself in the dance scene and asked himself: where was the music of the club scene from New York in the ‘70s and ‘80s headed? In answering that question, their new album “Night Work” was born.

There are key influences in there - you’ll hear them range from Giorgio Moroder to The Cult and Frankie Goes to Hollywood to ZZ Top - but three albums in, Scissor Sisters have nailed their sound and rekindled the magic that took them from dirty New York *** bars to the Royal Albert Hall. Significantly perhaps, this time around it’s a little less Albert Hall, and a little more Prince Albert.

It’s a spirit captured so brilliantly in that album closer ‘Invisible Light’, a track that’s essentially Pink Floyd in the Pleasuredome, arriving in a hail of crowd noise and rave horns, taking in a Sir Ian McKellen monologue (you read right, Gandalf!) somewhere along the way, and then soaring to the sky for a guaranteed club classic.
