Leaves That Fall In Spring (Seminal Moments 1984-2004)

Nu slechts € 14,99 The first career-spanning compilation for one of the U.K.'s most unique pop bands of the 1980s, Leaves That Fall in Spring shows off the Band of Holy Joy in all their peculiar glory. Although the guitar-free band's songs are rooted in British folk music idioms, the Band of Holy Joy never sounded much like, say, Billy Bragg. Closer comparisons include Eyeless in Gaza (singer/songwriter Johnny Brown has a similarly pitch-poor but emotionally expressive voice as that duo's Martyn Bates, and synthesizers were a main element of that band's overall sound) and Prefab Sprout, and in the combination of horns and accordion that decorate the otherwise electronic keyboard-based arrangements, the Pogues. One wouldn't expect the combination of gloomy post-punk, alternately delicate and raucous folk, and sophisticated pop arrangements to work, and to be fair, it quite often didn't. But at 16 songs covering two decades, Leaves That Fall in Spring neatly encapsulates all of the group's most enduring work, ranging from the chaotic shambles of debut single ''Rosemary Smith'' to considerably smoother and more accessible tunes like the 1993 single ''It's Lovebite City.'' Only the most devoted will need venture far beyond this compilation, but Leaves That Fall in Spring performs an essential function in collecting such a solid précis of this underrated band. ~ Stewart Mason
