Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Those dismissing the self-titled Scissor Sisters as a product of New York's latest fad band are jumping to conclusions. Yes, there's a certain cabaret aspect to what they do, but that's not to dismiss them as frivolous nightclub entertainment. That's only half the story. "Comfortably Numb" may have nodded to gay disco but this eclectic bunch of fashionistas have more interesting reference points tucked up their puff sleeves. If anything, the prevailing mood here is sunny AM rock, the kind of thing you might have tuned into in 70s New Jersey. "Take Your Mamma Out", perhaps the first song about coming out to your mother in a gay club, and sung by Jake Shears like primetime Elton, is a cracker. So too "Tits on the Radio"--slick barroom boogie that takes a venomous swipe at New York's increasing conservatism. Best here, though, is the anthemic "It Can't Come Quickly Enough", a retro carve-up of Nick Kershaw and the Pet Shop Boys that's more powerful than it sounds. Ignore it at your peril. --Paul Tierney
Description
This is the debut album from five piece New York outfit Scissor Sisters. Formed by lead singer Jake Shears and multi-instrumentalist Babydaddy the band play a bizarre mix of New York punk and glam rock while being heavily influenced by thelikes of Roxy Music and David Bowie through to Giorgio Moroder and even rock operas. The singles 'Laura' and the Pink Floyd cover 'Comfortably Numb' are also included.
