The 1986 Listening Post - Eyeless in Gaza - Back From the Rains

Eyeless in Gaza - Back From the Rains



#246/1371
June 27 1986
Eyeless in Gaza
Back From the Rains
Genre: Big 80s Rock
4 out of 5


Highlights:
Back From the Rains
Catch Me
New Love Here


Want some simile?
Tears for Fears meets The Alarm meets Duran Duran meets…4AD moody bands? 
This is lush and confident and feels like a swan song to an entire musical genre. 
I might not have cared for this when it came out, there really isn’t anything catchy or hummable but, lo these many years later, I am caught up in it’s spell.
