Pale Saints – The Comforts of Madness – 30th Anniversary VINYL UNBOXING & ALBUM REVIEW

Poetic Wax | May 3, 2025



Andy from the FensePost Indie Music & Vinyl Blog looks at The Comforts of Madness by Pale Saints on 4AD. He breaks down why the album is among the all-time greats from the early shoegaze movement, and how it’s quickly become one of his favorite records since picking up a 30th Anniversary pressing on vinyl. Andy provides a rundown of versions over the first thirty years, and unboxes his vinyl version.
