Home Is in Your Head

His Name Is Alive

1991
4AD

Warren Defever’s second His Name Is Alive album for 4AD was one of his loveliest, with Ivo Watts-Russell’s remixing and organizing of the tracks resulting in a strange and compelling portrait of fractured musical moods. Karin Oliver’s steady and sweet singing added to the melancholy and slightly haunted air, but whether it was the many short, almost fragmentary songs. the sudden rock-out break on “Hope Called In Sick” or just song titles like “My Feathers Needed Cleaning,” it was its own self-contained universe of musical exploration.
