The Twilight Hours
Former Trip Shakespeare frontman Matt Wilson largely dropped off the music scene after his 1998 solo record Burnt, White And Blue. He later reteamed with Shakespeare bandmate John Munson (also of Semisonic and The New Standards) as the casual duo The Flops, which played occasional shows throughout the 2000s, but as a collection of new songs built up rivaling their old band's best stuff, they realized it was time to take things more seriously: Hence, a name change and a new focus as The Twilight Hours. On debut Stereo Night, the alt-pop unit offers a winsome, carefully rendered manifesto. With toasty acoustic tones and melodic sophistication with an earnest, sometimes playful pop spirit, the album plays on the proven chemistry of its principal collaborators while offering plenty of fresh hooks for newcomers.
