Shadow Weaver

Released

The Legendary Pink Dots were as close to high profile as they would ever get in the early 1990s, but despite label pressure to get even more commercial the group stuck to its creative guns, resulting in one of its most compelling and unusual albums, Shadow Weaver. The sense of exploratory composition throughout the album openly harkened back to work by very early 1970s Pink Floyd and Can, with Edward Ka-Spel’s portrayals of emotional extremity on songs like “Guilty Man-Ghosts of Unborn Children” and “Stitching Time-Twilight Hour” continuing to hold sway.
