艺人介绍
Pale Saints were formed in Leeds in 1987 by singer/bassist Ian Masters, guitarist Graeme Naysmith and drummer Chris Cooper. Part of a new generation of 'shoegazing' groups inspired by My Bloody Valentine, Ivo sent them into the studio with producers Gil Norton and John Fryer; the result was the three-song EP Barging Into the Presence Of God, released in September 1989.
Pale Saints were formed in Leeds in 1987 by singer/bassist Ian Masters, guitarist Graeme Naysmith and drummer Chris Cooper. Part of a new generation of 'shoegazing' groups inspired by My Bloody Valentine, Ivo sent them into the studio with producers Gil Norton and John Fryer; the result was the three-song EP Barging Into the Presence Of God, released in September 1989. The trio's debut album, The Comforts Of Madness, was also the label's first release of the new decade. Later in the year, the band returned with the Half-Life EP, which saw them expand to a quartet with the addition of singer/guitarist Meriel Barham. Barham had been the original vocalist for labelmates Lush, whose Miki Berenyi had recommended her to Pale Saints. In 1991, the group toured with the Pixies and cut a new EP, Flesh Balloon. Produced by Hugh Jones, it featured a dreamy version of Nancy Sinatra's ‘Kinky Love’ that was also released as a separate 7" single. Pale Saints' second album, In Ribbons, also produced by Jones, came out the following year. Poppier than their debut, initial quantities included an unusual free 7" featuring two of their songs, "A Thousand Stars Burst Open" and "A Revelation", performed by the Tintwhistle Brass Band. The album's title hinted at internal tensions that only manifested themselves a few months later when co-frontman Masters decided to quit the band. Following his departure, Pale Saints added bassist/vocalist Colleen Browne to the line-up and released their final album, Slow Buildings, in 1994. Masters went on to form Spoonfed Hybrid with Chris Trout, releasing an album through 4AD imprint Guernica, plus the short-lived studio project ESP Summer; a collaboration with His Name Is Alive's Warren Defever.

- @Gabriel：苍白圣徒…高中那会网吧刚开始席卷我所在的那所小城市，刚开始聊QQ，第一个听摇滚乐的女网友（好想是来自云南），网名就叫这个。可惜没聊两次就断了联系，多么美好的回忆啊……
- @迷幻豌豆：懂得唯美动听的shoegaze乐队，他们做的东西真的好听。强烈推荐。
- @zzzzzzzzzz：Pale Saints在伦敦的处女演出即为乐队赢得了4AD的一纸合约，随后推出了《The Comforts Of Madness》(1990)、《In Ribbons》(1992)两张专辑唱片。Pale Saints的音乐以吉他为核心，分成3条线平行发展；清新爽朗富于韵律的、激烈癫狂的、低沉虚幻的。除了英国以外，Pale Saints在日本也很受欢迎，曾在日本发行过一张专辑《Mr. Dolphin》。而这张98年发行的专辑，显得活泼了，结构复杂，可能吸收了一些当时BRIT POP的东西，而且向MBV和LUSH靠拢了一些，好象丧失了一些自我。
