Band Of Holy Joy - ‘Fated Beautiful Mistakes‘ LP.

Early Band Of Holy Joy existed somewhere on the cut-up side of proto-industrial music, resting between Marc Stewart & Maffia, Sonic Youth, and Current 93, and proponents of a more romantic musical language - Virginia Astley, Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins among them - all artists whose work BPHJ's music sat comfortably alongside across on a stream of low-budget vinyl and cassette compilations after the start of the eighties. The common thread through BOHJ's four decades of recordings is the foundational warmth and humanity of Brown's words. Over each of their last three albums - ‘Funambulist We Love You’, ‘Neon Primitives’ and ‘Dreams Take Flight’ - BOHJ has bettered itself, and may now have reached their apex, ‘Fated Beautiful Mistakes’.
