The Album

This period marks a departure from their earlier, more jangly sound, with more emphasis on structure punctuation and rhythm, although the lyrical themes remain similar in their introspective and existential content. Despite the long hiatus between "Blind" and the band's debut album "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic," the album managed to uphold their momentum, marking another significant milestone in The Sundays' discography. "Blind" is the second album by English indie pop band The Sundays, released in 1992.
