The British post-punk band Wild Swans ventured close to U2 on their debut album »Bringing Home The Ashes«, released in 1988. The haunting voice of Paul Simpson gives each piece an emotional weight; whether he tries to convey joy or sadness, his icy baritone makes you shiver to the core. The album is about growing up, growing up in a time of war, and finding comfort from God and love. The Wild Swans have never been advertised as a Christian group, but Simpson uses his spirituality to express hope or despair. The Wild Swans paint indelible pictures: Simpson's sparkling voice and Kelly's ethereal guitars give the album an undeniably romantic feel. »Bringing Home The Ashes« is available in a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on Crystal Clear Vinyl and includes a supplement.
