Music and reception

The song is an up-tempo, pop-oriented tune that received moderate airplay on alternative rock radios in the US in 1991.^[1] "Shadowtime" was remixed slightly for its single version, giving it a fuller, synthesized sound and adding some background vocals by Siouxsie Sioux.

Severin said that "Shadowtime" was a kind of tribute to Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure.^[2]

"Shadowtime" reached number 57 in the UK singles chart.^[3] In the United States, it spent six weeks on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at number 13 for the week of 12 October 1991.^[4]
