Blind is the second studio album by the Sundays.[1] [2] It was released by Parlophone on 19 October 1992 in the UK, then in the US by Geffen the following day. It is often considered the darkest and most experimental of The Sundays' albums, noted for its melancholic lyrics and closer resemblance to the darker dream pop work of artists such as Cocteau Twins. The title of the album is from a lyric in the song "24 Hours".
The album peaked at No. 15 on the UK Albums Chart.[3]
The album was co-produced by Dave Anderson.
Trouser Press wrote that "while increased confidence and ambition make Wheeler’s singing more technically accomplished, her development from adolescent wonder to adult aplomb deducts some of the band’s gravity-defying magic."[4]
All songs by David Gavurin and Harriet Wheeler, except "Wild Horses", written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
The final track only appears on American release of this album and as a B-side of the UK single version of "Goodbye".
