Pale SaintsThe Comforts Of Madness (30th Anniversary Remaster) Clear Vinyl 2LPSet

Overview:

Deluxe double CD & LP formats include unreleased demos & 1989 John Peel Session. On the eve of a post-Thatcherite Britain, the Pale Saints, alongside the likes of Lush, Ride and Slowdive, were ushering in a new wave of British indie. And in 4AD, they found a perfect home for their music – an exciting & undeniable meld of noise and dream-pop.

Their debut album, The Comforts of Madness, didnt disappoint, now standing as one of the best of its era. Pitchfork placed it in their Best 50 Shoegaze Albums Of All Time saying, Theres a restless urgency, particularly when the volume swells and the rhythms intensify. That energy not only keeps (it) vital, it emphasizes Pale Saints inventiveness, how they channelled softness and rage into something distinctive.

Nearly 30 years on and The Comforts of Madness is finally getting the reissue treatment. Having been remastered, a faithful LP repress on black vinyl is being released as well as double CD and double clear vinyl editions, both of which come with a bonus disc of previously unreleased demos and the bands only John Peel Session, recorded in 1989.
