Album Notes & Community Reviews
Magazine pushed their highly sophisticated post-punk sound into increasingly expansive, almost progressive rock territory on their brilliantly icy sophomore album. 'Secondhand Daylight' utilizes heavy synthesizers to craft a profoundly cold, wonderfully atmospheric, and deeply ominous aesthetic, perfectly backing Howard Devoto's passionate, mysterious lyricism.
