Audience with the Mind by The House of Love

Audience With the Mind was recorded following the departure of the band’s third successive lead guitarist in three years, Simon Mawby. This resulting in group leader Guy Chadwick recording all of the album’s guitar parts himself (although Sean O'Hagan of The High Llamas provided additional acoustic and slide guitars). As had been the case on the band’s previous album, Babe Rainbow, former band member Andrea Heukamp provided backing vocals. The album generated one single, "Hollow". Close to the album’s release in 1993, House of Love drummer Pete Evans announced his own departure to the group. Chadwick was left to promote the finished album by himself: unsupported by live appearances, it performed poorly commercially. The House of Love would split up entirely shortly afterwards and would not reunite until 2005. ℗ 1993 Mercury Records Limited
