Brand new, still sealed.

hours is the 22nd studio album by Bowie, originally released on October 4, 1999, Bowies most fearlessly autobiographical works to date, hours. Written solely with longtime collaborator Reeves Gabrels, hours evoked the bare-bones aesthetic and raw personal nature of the Hunky Dory era that brief window between the emergence of Bowies singular songwriting voice and the coming creation of the personae through which it would be filtered. On emotionally charged tracks such as Thursdays Child, Survive and The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell, hours employs bold introspection in delivering its deeply personal yet ultimately universal impact.
