His Name Is Alives 1990 4AD label debut Livonia cemented the bands presence among 4ADs well-established ethereal lineage, reinventing and refracting the labels sound through a prism.
A tender and slightly deranged dream-pop record, it packages nearly ten years of Defevers home record- ings brought to haunting chorus via the spectral, feminine vocals of Karin Oliver. Produced / mixed by Ivo Watts-Russell and This This Mortal Coil collaborator John Fryer, the record is a powerful opening statement, inviting intrigue via noisy refrains and textural guitar. It examines the dual themes of love and loss, woozily delivered as if dreamlike.
