Pale Saints' debut album, The Comforts of Madness, is a luminous record blending post-punk and the Paisley Underground scene from L.A. with shoegaze, to the delight of The Sunday Times, which called it "a stunning indie guide to music that's both unpredictable and precise, dissonant yet beautiful." When the trio, comprising Ian Masters, Graeme Naysmith and Chris Cooper, needed a second guitarist for live performances, Lush co-founder Meriel Barham joined them, ushering in a new sound. The band already had a great rapport with producer Hugh Jones (The Sound, Modern English, Echo & The Bunnyman), who did an impressive job recording the second album, In Ribbons (1992), even amidst studio drama. Brooklyn Vegan summed up the album recently saying it was the "combination of Masters' edginess and the band's more commercial aspirations that makes In Ribbons so captivating.
