Hifi Sean and David McAlmont announce their new album “Twilight”, due for release on 14th February 2025 on Plastique Recordings. The follow up to their 2024 album “Daylight”.
The new single “Star” – track 10 of the dozen on the album – is out now, with the accompanying video directed by Arber.
David explains the idea behind the single: “A long time ago a very bright star was said to have heralded a momentous birth. Nice idea, but does it mean that the rest of us are not special because our births were not heralded in the same way? Stars or no stars; life is the gift.”
The album will be a “Deluxe Vinyl version with a signed art print and flexi disc featuring opening track “The Comedown” in collaboration with The Blessed Madonna who guest vocals on it.
The guys say “Twilight” is a twelve-track night drive from dusk ’til dawn, with all the moments in-between – beginning with “The Comedown,” a collaboration with their friend The Blessed Madonna.
The title track “Twilight” follows an immersive wall of choral sounds and field recordings, incorporating David’s favourite birdsong and Sean’s dogs, Fred and Barney.
“Sorry I Made You Cry” is a “warped doo-wop influenced torch song from Sean’s twisted droning synths to its wonky exploding chorus”.
Sean says: “I wanted to make this album feel like you were in a dark head space while being hugged by your favourite person at the same time.” David adds: “All I know is we set out to make a little sister for ‘Daylight’ and ended up with our best album so far.”
