Blind by The Sundays
Blind is an album by The Sundays, released in 1992. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 48 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love”, on 19 lists with a best position of #36.
Blind, the Sundays' second studio album, came out on Parlophone in the UK on 19 October 1992 and on Geffen in America the day after, and it's the band's most shadowy, adventurous record. Harriet Wheeler, who formed the band with guitarist David Gavurin after they met at Bristol University, sings in that breathy, bruised voice over Gavurin's chiming guitar, Paul Brindley's bass and Patrick Hannan's drums, but the mood has turned melancholy and the textures drift closer to the dark dream pop of the Cocteau Twins. The title comes from a line in "24 Hours".
"Goodbye" arrived first, and "Love" climbed to number 2 on the American Modern Rock chart, a gentle, shimmering thing that sounds like it's floating a few inches off the ground. "Wild Horses" gives the record its quietest, most haunted moment. The album reached number 15 in the UK, and it was five years before Static & Silence followed it.
