From Livonia, Michigan, His Name Is Alive is known primarily as the creative outlet of Warren Defever who in theearly-90s, along with vocalist Karin Oliver, became an integral part of 4AD’s storied history after label founder Ivo Watts-Russell fell deeply for their dark and fragmented sound; their self-released cassettes mysteriously landing in the post, consistently improving until he could ignore no more. Having recently reissued those early tracks as part of the lauded ASilver Thread trilogy, the light now turns to their first three albums proper.
Signing to 4AD in 1989, as Throwing Muses, Pixies, and The Breeders were beating a new transatlantic path for the label,they proved perfectly paired. While their sound was more in line with the gothic echoes of Cocteau Twins and Dead CanDance than the visceral college rock of the aforementioned, His Name Is Alive also had a different, nonpareil quality, something existing on the boundary of this earth and another realm further underground. It was this otherness that piqued interest and proved the fulcrum of an unpredictable sound that often-changed tack before listeners could second guess.
Three decades on and His Name Is Alive’s mark on the scene is indelible, excitingly with a whole new audience now discovering them.
