Known for their flamboyant live performances and camp disco hits, US group Scissors Sisters are back with their latest record.<br/> <br />"Magic Hour" is album number 4, and in the words of lead singer Ana Matronic continues where number 2 left off.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Ana Matronic, Scissor Sisters, saying (English):<br/> <br />"This record is definitely I think in keeping with the spirit of our first two albums. The third one, Nightwork, was a bit more of a departure or, I should say maybe a little bit more cohesive in its sounds. And this one we're back to genre hoping and -- it's more of a melange of sounds if you will."<br/> <br />The album launched on Monday (May 28) in the UK.<br/> <br />Other band members joined the lead singer for a launch event at a London record store, where fans had formed long queues to meet their idols.<br/> <br />"Magic Hour" also features a number of collaborations. "Only the Horses" was produced by Calvin Harris.<br/> <br />US rapper Pharrell Williams worked on the disco homage "Inevitable". According to Babydaddy, he wanted to help open new doors to the band.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Babydaddy, on working with Pharrell Williams, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I think he came in with a bit of an agenda. I think he really believes in the band. He said you know he basically was making it a goal to get Scissor Sisters on black radio which I thought was a very interesting challenge."<br/> <br />With the latest Scissor Sisters tunes hitting record shelves and dance floors, a new tour is also on the cards.<br/> <br />The band will bring their live shows to the US in the summer and return to the UK in the autumn.<br/> <br />Kathi Urban, Reuters
