Wild Swans and Winter Hours


Wild Swans and Winter Hours

I read recently in Big Takeover about upcoming rereleases of Winter Hours and that Wild Swans are regrouped and touring some.

Man I hope they can do another album that sounds close to "Bringing Home The Ashes". Without a doubt one of the greatest New Wave albums ever.

Winter Hours' "Wait till the Morning" is the best REM-ish genre LP/CD ever (certainly far better than anything REM did).

I didn't read that myspace link because it is a fucking cluttered mess, which I guess is a myspace requirement.

So is Winter Hours reforming or just having reissues?

Also I'm not sure why you lumped them in with Wild Swans, who are rather blah and have a totally different sound.

Not suggesting that there's any connection between the bands, just that these are things I've read about recently.
Wild Swans are apparently reforming for tour and recording, I believe.
Winter Hours have had a tribute v/a album out recently and there's talk of re-issues. I think both bands have had great moments but I wouldn't make comparisons.
