about

Newly remastered, 'Here Comes Everybody' is the highly-regarded second album by Scottish group The Wake, originally released by Factory Records (Fact 130) in November 1985.

HCE was recorded at Revolution Studio in Manchester and produced by Keith 'Oz' McCormick. The original 8 album tracks are joined by non-album singles Talk About the Past (Fac 88) and Of the Matter (Fac 113), a 4 song radio session from February 1984, and a previously unreleased dub version of Torn Calendar.

HCE was recorded as a trio by Caesar, Carolyn Allen and Steven Allen. Guest percussion on 6 and 8 by Simon Topping. Piano on 9 by Vini Reilly. Bass on 9 by Alex MacPherson.

"Here Comes Everybody holds up as a touchstone for aching, atmospheric synth-pop, all slinky guitars, crispy percussion, textured keyboards and limber bass" (Pitchfork, 2012)

"Exquisite. Here Comes Everybody is The Wake as purveyors of wintry despair, indie at its most weary and wan, with Pale Spectre an all-time classic of the happy-to-be-sad genus. Even the la-la-la's are wet, wet with tears. Four stars" (Classic Pop, 2015)

"The Wake were a beguiling lot, a debt to New Order leavened by an extra helping of pale remorse, akin to Felt's precious cargo with Postcardian awkwardness. But there are kernels of heart-tugging pop: O Pamela was later covered by Nouvelle Vague, a glacial Torn Calendar is the album's secret weapon, and one wonders in Future Islands knowingly borrowed Sail Through's lilting synth figure" (Mojo, 2015)

"Various revivals of 1980s electronica make The Wake seem like pioneers, and as such Here Comes Everybody is their key release. While the songs are at root quite conventional, austere atmospherics remain the core of the sound. Decades later Nouvelle Vague would excavate the architecture of opener O Pamela, remodelling it as an Astrud Gilberto-style shuffle. 8 out of 10" (Uncut, 2015)
