The Scissor Sisters are back in a very big way.
Night Work, the group’s third studio album (co-produced by Stuart Price!), on June 28 off of Polydor Records. It will be preceded by the release of the album’s first single, “Fire with Fire,” on June 20. As you can see from the authentic ‘disco sessions’-like cover art, all signs point to brilliant.
You can now stream one of the new tracks off of the album on their website, “Invisible Light.” DO IT RIGHT NOW.
“Invisible Light” is far sexier and darker than their past work. It’s also much gayer if possible, but in the most authentic, new revolution-in-sound-while-still-referencing-the-disco-melodies-of-yesterday sort of way. Then the chorus comes, and it’s euphoric and hooky and glittering and entirely unbelievable. Then comes an epic voice over. There is reference to Babylon and Zion. I AM LITERALLY DYING OVER THIS TRACK, MUUSERS.
And now a tracklisting:
1. Night Work
2. Whole New Way
3. Fire With Fire
4. Any Which Way
5. Harder You Get
6. Running Out
7. Something Like This
8. Skin This Cat
9. Skin Tight
10. Sex and Violence
11. Night Life
12. Invisible Light
This may be a bit early to start postulating, but I do believe this album shall be the Scissor Sisters’ finest effort.
I’m off to play “Invisible Light” a billion and a half times in a row now.
