SEANCE

Nailing the classic 1980s indie guitar rock jangle pop sound well before much of the rest of the scene cohered around this sort of material, the Church's Seance spices up its sound with hints of gothic influences scattered here and there. The production sound is a bit more classically "1980s" than the more timeless sound of some of their releases,, with the gated drum sound being laid on especially thick, but whilst this does mean it is distinctively a product of its era I think the material is strong enough that it doesn't suffer too much for this. Not the pinnacle of their output - I think Heyday pips it - but very good nonetheless.
