Take Your Mama

Sounding for all the world like Elton John in his halcyon days, or even Primal Scream on some new-fangled designer drug, the Scissor Sisters evoke the gloriously camp sound of New York cool. Documenting the glamorously seedy goings on of Manhattan nightlife that Julian Casablancas and his Swiss finishing-school cohorts are simply oblivious to, ‘Take Your Mama’ is a wonderful sliver of star-spangled funky disco, harking back to decadent and excessive days of yore.
