The Fall : Your Heart Out
On October 28 The Fall released their second album, Dragnet, which was recorded in three days. The traditionally mercurial lineup of The Fall has already shown itself. Only Mark E Smith and bassist-now-turned guitarist Marc Riley remain from the Witch Trials album.
In his memoir Renegade, Smith wrote:
Dragnet was so opposite to Witch Trials - which I think is still a powerful LP. But Dragnet is the other side: the horror of the normal. I like that sort of stuff; with writers like M.R James and Arthur Machen the stories are right there on your doorstep...We recorded it in three days. Most of it is purposefully out of tune...I don't know why people found the album so objectionable . With the journalists, I think it was a simple case of them expecting one thing, having written the copy for that one thing, and then getting something else and thinking "Fuck! I've now go to think about this".
