pale saints: the comforts of madness deluxe edition

release date 1.17.20 preorder your copy today! 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 Britishindie. And in 4AD, they found a perfect home for their music - an exciting & undeniable meld of noise and dream-pop. Their 1990 debut album, The Comforts of Madness, didn’t disappoint, now standing as one of the best of its era. Pitchfork placed it in their recent piece on The Best 50 Shoegaze Albums Of All Time saying, “There’s 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.”  30 years later, and The Comforts of Madness is finally getting the reissue treatment. A double CD edition and a limited, one-time press double LP edition on clear vinyl, both coming with a bonus disc of previously unreleased demos and the band’s only Peel Session, recorded in 1989. track listing A1/1 Way The World Is A2/2 You Tear The World In Two A3/3 Sea of Sound A4/4 True Coming Dream A5/5 Little Hammer B1/6 Insubstantial B2/7 A Deep Sleep For Steven B3/8 Language of Flowers B4/9 Fell From The Sun B5/10 Sight Of You B6/11 Time Thief C1/1 Sight Of You (Original Woodhouse Studio Version) * C2/2 Way The World Is (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * C3/3 Language of Flowers (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * C4/4 You Tear The World In Two (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * C5/5 Fell From The Sun (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * C6/6 A Deep Sleep For Steven (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * C7/7 Time Thief (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * D1/8 Sea of Sound (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * D2/9 Insubstantial (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * D3/10 Little Hammer (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * D4/11 True Coming Dream (Woodhouse Studio LP Demo) * D5/12 She Rides The Waves (John Peel Show Version) * D6/13 You Tear The World In Two (John Peel Show Version) * D7/14 Way The World Is (John Peel Show Version) * D8/15 Time Thief (John Peel Show Version) *
