Love in a Time of Low Expectations by Sahara Hotnights is my fave record of the last five years, when Hiss Spun by Chelsea Wolfe came out, although that album lives and dies by its best track, “Twin Fawn”, whereas Love in a Time of Low Expectations is all killer.
Sahara Hotnights have made quite a journey, it seems like, starting out in the nineties with the most perfect seventies raw rock, veering into a retro 50s dansband sound, and now here they are with a polished, soft, smooth post-punk sound, sort of like a rounder and cleaner Joy Division or Warpaint.
It sounds like nothing they’ve ever done before. I love it♥︎
