Store Categories THE WEEKND After Hours / 2x LP NEW COLORED VINYL / XO 2020
Variant 001 (clear with red splatter) - Musically, After Hours hits the best balance yet of the gloomy melodrama of the Weeknd’s early EPs or his 2018 release My Dear Melancholy and the pop slickness of his 2016 LP Starboy — at once lachrymose and sleek, cold but plush, like a lavishly ornamented fallout shelter. Where he once sampled goth-punk warrior priestess Siouxsie Sioux, he now sinks his teeth into an interpolation of Elton John’s “Your Song,” leveraging one of pop’s most beloved melodies for the soaring “Scared to Love”; for this guy, Elton’s openhearted passion is a means of pulling inward instead of reaching out. Martin produces the Europhile synth-pop-steeped “Blinding Lights,” evoking Depeche Mode and the Human League in its lonely-planet luster. Kevin Parker of Tame Impala and Daniel Lopatin (a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never) co-write “Repeat After Me (Interlude),” a wounded power ballad overlaid with spacey bubble-prog keyboards.
