Pale Hands I Loved So Well picture

Eyeless In Gaza – Pale Hands I Loved So Well (Blue Distance, To Ellen and more). 12 tracks (43:00). Eyeless in Gaza is a post-punk duo formed by Martyn Bates and Peter Becker, based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England, UK (better known as the birthplace of George Eliot). They have described their music as "veering crazily from filmic ambience to rock and pop, industrial funk to avant-folk styles". Formed in 1980, the group went into hiatus in 1987, reemerging in 1993. The name is a reference to the novel by Aldous Huxley. Bates has said he chose the name "for the sound of it… I was reading the Huxley book when I met Pete… It sounded perfectly nice.", but Bates has also acknowledged an allusion to the "biblical myth" of Samson, saying, "I feel attracted by religion. I feel that people don’t pay enough attention to the spiritual side of their life; it is a very interesting side of the human psychism and it fascinates me.".
