Padded Cell - Guardians of the Night

  • Share
  • You have to wonder what has occurred in Padded Cell's world since their debut LP back in 2008. Night Must Fall was an excellent exercise in dark disco, but the opening notes of "Guardians of the Night" marks something different and somewhat brighter for the duo. Falsetto vocals come in from Free Disco, and they're combined with high-pitched synths, thrashed tambourines and saxophone. The whole effort sounds like it could easily find a home on DFA. For those who can't stomach the vocals, an instrumental version is included. B-side "Deviancy Amp" leans closer to what is to be expected from Padded Cell based on their previous efforts. Shadowy funk lurks just out of sight behind the upbeat intro, the only elements emerging being the dark synth stabs and cowbell.
