Pale saints the comforts of madness


The Comforts of Madness is the debut studio album from Pale Saints, released by 4AD on 12 February 1990. The album set Ian Masters' dreamy, choirboy-like vocals against dark and slightly experimental noise pop. "Fell From the Sun" is a cover of a song originally by Opal. The Comforts of Madness was 4AD's first release of the 1990s, and was preceded by the EP Barging Into the Presence of God in September 1989 (which features a different recording of "Sight of You") and succeeded by the EP Half-Life in October 1990.
