Night Work, the third album from New Yorks Scissor Sisters (the inimitably colorful quintet Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Babydaddy, Del Marquis, and Randy Real), is an homage to all the night hawks of the world, the dancing queens who stay out til the wee hours, fully living up every possible minute they can get. The music, as heard on lead singles Fire With Fire and Any Which Way, is impassioned and gloriously glam; a celebration of the communal bonds between clubgoers, its much more emotive stuff than the groups earlier songs like Tits on the Radio. The Sisters put on famously flashy live shows to match their dancefloor tunes Lady Gaga handpicked them to open for the early 2011 leg of her world tour. With Sammy Jo, Casey Spooner. ERIN K.
