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.
