Continuing in the direction of Can't Wait, this album finds Betsy's\r\nsongwriting reaching new levels of sophistication and maturity. And with the added dimension of keyboards, the \r\nband's sound is fuller and richer than ever. Longtime fans hoping for impossibly catchy melodies and big hooks \r\nwill not be disappointed in Only Come Out At Night. \"The One\" and \"Radio Heartthrob\" will have you wondering aloud\r\nwhy they're not massive radio hits. And tracks like \"Haunted\" and \"Run Rabbit Run\" demonstrate that Sugar Stems \r\ncan still rock with the best of 'em. But by no means has the band delivered a mere repeat of previous albums. The \r\n'60s-inspired \"Some Might Say\" and acoustic \"Million Miles\" are gorgeous pop gems that pick up where previous\r\nmasterpieces like \"Love You To Pieces\" left off. And while \"growing up\" can sometimes be the death of a pop band, \r\nthe 1-2 opening punch\r\nof \"Baby Teeth\" and \"I Know Where I'm Going\" suggests that Sugar Stems are only getting better as their music \r\nprobes deeper into fully adult themes. Betsy has become a veritable powerhouse on vocals, and the band as a whole \r\nhas never sounded tighter or more assured. <\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>Boasting the band's most beautiful melodies to date along with near flawless production, Only Come Out At Night \r\nwill delight existing Sugar Stems fans and attract a whole lot of new ones. Whether you're a power pop aficionado \r\nor a lover of great music in general, this is one you won't want to miss. \r\n\r\nCover art is an original water color painting by Betsy!\r\n\r\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The first 140 of the LP come on limited edition, mailorder-only CLEAR vinyl.
