Who says dusk has to come before the dawn? The second and sensational installment of St. Lucia’s Fata Morgana diptych is the latest satisfyingly surprising left turn from the long-running alt-pop project, flipping the lush and ornate instrumentation of its predecessor Dawn on its head with sleek dance beats and the kind of grooves that only arrive after dark. Drawing heavily from bandmates Jean-Philip Grobler and Patti Beranek’s love of vintage, velvety disco and the addictive breakbeats of ‘90s electronic music, Dusk is an electric shock to the system that also never loses sight of what’s made this band so beloved in the first place.
You already know that Dusk is the sequel to this year’s Fata Morgana: Dawn, but its actual creative genesis timeline-wise is a bit tricky. While Dawn was actually largely completed before St. Lucia’s fourth record Utopia in 2022, the material collected on Dusk actually draws from the entirety of St. Lucia’s career, including the sessions that resulted in Utopia. The gonzo ascending pop of “The Universe Explodes” dates back to 2008—a full five years before the group’s breakout debut When the Night—while the pulsing “People Change” was initially intended for St. Lucia’s third record Hyperion.
