HIFI Sean & David McAlmont are pleased to announce their new album “Twilight” which is released on 14^th February 2025 on Plastique Recordings. This is the follow up to this year. album “Daylight”. Listen to new single ‘Star’ and watch the video directed by Arber now. 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 on ‘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.

 

“Twilight” is a twelve-track night drive from dusk ‘til dawn, with all the moments in-between. The album begins with ‘The Comedown,’ a collaboration with their friend ‘The Blessed Madonna’ who also narrates, “I can hear my heart beating like a drum.” 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 one of the standout moments on the album. A warped doo-wop influenced torch song from Sean’s twisted droning synths to its wonky exploding chorus where David exclaims, “I’m not as good at sleeping when we’re lying awake.” 

 

Sean ‘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 ‘All I know is we set out to make a little sister for Daylight and ended up with our best album so far…’
