Band Of Holy Joy have mutated endlessly since their origin as a kind of trashbin industrial folk collective, through early experiments in an intensely poetic form of ambient postpunk, to near chart-contenders on a then-failing Rough Trade, free of bitterness but with greater heart… and more recently onward to a series of albums of gently anthemic social culture and political critique.
