Mar 1, 2018The whole album drips with a palpable sense of lust and intensity.
-
Feb 16, 2018Delivering on both slow-burn emotional complexity and quick-hit thrills, Sir is a welcome return for an underrated group whose influence on contemporary pop music is often overlooked.
-
Feb 22, 2018Sir is a reputable array of dance-pop staples, the likes of which will please Fischerspooner fans of this and past generations.
-
Feb 16, 2018Sir updates Fischerspooner’s old cocaine throb to surprisingly modern, still sleazily enjoyable, then inevitably exhausting results. It’s enough to think it might stick around this time.
-
Feb 16, 2018While the nine-year break has seen the duo barely switch up their instrumentation--Warren Fischer is still blasting drum machines and moody synth underneath Spooner’s vocals--the band’s friend and new producer, R.E.M.‘s Michael Stipe, seems to have generally smoothed the scruffier side of the duo’s compositions.
-
Feb 16, 2018Sir is as extroverted as Spooner’s recent experiences, but some occasional, additional restraint may have added extra punch to its more introverted moments.
-
Feb 20, 2018Sadly, the album doesn’t sound half as much fun as the journey.
