Boys and Girls

Bryan Ferry

A pinnacle of high-fashion synth-pop. Shimmering, expensive, and deeply nocturnal, it captures the precise sound of a lonely penthouse at midnight.

Find on Amazon

The most expensive-sounding late-night record ever made.

A sophisticated, nocturnal elegance that feels both deeply romantic and coolly detached.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion on Slave to Love feels like it is breathing in the room with you.
The crystalline guitar solo on Windswept that seems to hang in the air like mist.
The transition from the brief ambient interlude A Waste Land into the rhythmic pulse of Windswept.
