Worse than the pain of knowing, is to not. 'Empty Vicious Nights' is a tale of a housewife's decent into madness as she questions her husband's fidelity. Thick, pulsating strings and a hypnotic beat drive the anguished vocals to a crescendo - as the song builds, sanity departs. Here the original is remixed by Broad Oak who also recorded and produced the album with the band. Added tambourine, handclaps and a club beat give the song an almost celebratory atmosphere in contrast to the original although the enhanced string arrangement is more driving than ever."All they have is their Empty Vicious Nights."
