Secondhand Daylight is the second album from UK-based post-punk band Magazine, released by Virgin Records on January 1, 1979. In this album Magazine presents a a colder, more synth-driven sound, with keyboardist Dave Formula giving some of his best performances recorded. Howard Devoto's lyrics are as intricate and nihilistic as ever. The other musicians, John McGeoch, Barry Adamson and John Doyle show their A-grade talents though they are slightly submerged in Formula's synthesizer sounds thanks to Colin Thurston's widely criticized production.
