His Name Is Alive’s third album for 4AD marked a turning point, with Warren Defever taking full control of the recording and mixing. The result is their most varied and approachable work, drawing freely from across his musical obsessions.

Dub echoes ripple through ‘Lord, Make Me A Channel of Your Peace’ and ‘The Homesick Waltz’, while ‘Baby Fish Mouth’ and ‘Lip’ lean into bright, 1960s pop. Elsewhere, ‘Can’t Go Wrong Without You’ drifts through distorted dream-gaze, ‘Sick’ edges into abrasive alt-noise, and ‘Where Knock Is Open Wide’ settles into loose, strummed folk.

With its surreal edge and expanding palette, the album captures Defever’s studio approach in full bloom—restless, imaginative, and widely regarded as a high point in the band’s catalogue.
