Bringing Home the Ashes

by The Wild Swans

Bringing Home the Ashes cover art

Resurrected after an initial early-eighties breakup, the Liverpool group finally delivered their debut full-length album wrapped in massive, pristine major-label production. The chiming guitars and Paul Simpson's fiercely romantic, soaring vocals perfectly encapsulate the era's ambition to turn melancholic post-punk into anthemic stadium pop.
