The British post-punk band The Wild Swans ventured into U2 territory with their debut album from 1988, Bringing Home The Ashes. Paul Simpson's haunting voice imbues each track with emotional weight; whether he attempts to convey joy or sadness, his chilling baritone freezes to the bone. The album speaks of someone growing up during wartime, seeking comfort in God and love. The Wild Swans have never been promoted as a Christian band, but Simpson uses his spirituality to express hope or despair. The Wild Swans paint indelible images; Simpson's sparkling voice and Kelly's ethereal guitars give the album an undeniably romantic atmosphere.
