THE CHURCH – Heyday (Reissue – Import) – LP – Red Vinyl

Description

LP – Limited Australian Pressing Edition Red Vinyl.

Heyday, the fourth album from The Church, was released in November 1985. Produced once again by UK producer Peter Walsh, the album showcased lush instrumentation that included the addition of horns and strings, signifying a departure from the band’s earlier post-punk sound towards a more warm, atmospheric, psychedelic style. It included the singles Already Yesterday, Tantalized, and Columbus, all of which played a significant role in boosting the band’s international recognition at the time.

A beloved favourite among fans, credited to its dreamy soundscapes and profound lyrical content stemming from Steve Kilbeys introspective and often cryptic lyrics.

This was a key release in the development of the band’s distinctive, dream-like sound that ended up defining them for many years to come.
