With the Scissor Sisters fourth studio album Magic Hour, it most certainly is the absolute truth; that if it isn’t broken then why bother getting the decorators round to spruce up the place.
Scissor Sisters have been reduced to a four piece for a couple of albums now but the sound and disco sure fire hits have not diminished, if anything, on Magic Hour the drive that propelled the band forward and suffered slightly on Tah-Dah has gained more momentum. The rhythms and insanely likeable underlying beats that pervade the songs mean they thrust the music into another level that the group’s first hit of Laura suggested they would eventually attain.
