Scissor Sisters new album Night Work is a pulsing Disco affair produced by Stuart Price who also produced Madonna’s tour-de-force disco ode Confessions on a dance floor and Kylie Minogue’s latest effort Aphrodite. Lead-off single “Fire with Fire” starts off a piano ballad before guitars and stomping beats transform it into something that wouldn’t sound out of place on the Killers’ Day and Age album, which was also produced by Price.
“Whole New Way” is more downbeat, while “Any Which Way” has a Bee Gees feel. “Something Like This” (which urges one to dance “Over and over like a robot”) sounds like Prince set to Disco, while the slinky “Skin this Cat” (with vocals by Ana Matronic) is the closest approximation to a ballad in an otherwise ballad-free non-stop Disco. “Sex and Violence” is Pet Shop Boys-meets-Giorgio Moroder, “Night life” a bouncy affair, while “Invisible light” shimmers and surges and features a Thriller-style rap by thespian Sir Ian McKellen over tribal percussion. Night Work is a euphoric night at the disco.
