IN RIBBONS

Description

After a debut album, 'The Comforts of Madness', that borrowed as much from post-punk as it did from shoegaze, British band Pale Saints (formed by Ian Masters, Graeme Naysmith, and Chris Cooper) welcomed musician Meriel Barham (Lush) into their ranks, bringing a new dynamic with her. Produced by Hugh Jones (Echo & The Bunnymen, Modern English, The Sound) and released in 1992, 'In Ribbons' remains a seminal album for the band. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its original release, 4AD is reissuing Pale Saints' second album as a special double vinyl/CD edition, with the original tracklist expanded to include unreleased demos (including 'Blue Flower' and 'Kinky Love') and alternative versions augmented with brass.
