The band’s second album with 4AD, recorded in Warren Defever's home studio and remixed by Ivo Watts-Russell and John Fryer (as with their debut), sees 23 songs quick-firing through emotions, with moments of soothing calm soon clashing with white noise and visceral chaos. Highlights include “Her Eyes Were Huge”, on which lightly strummed acoustic guitar uplift Karin Oliver’s swooning, gossamer drawl; the synth-led, inquisitive and prickly “Are We Still Married?”; and pensive instrumental waltz “Siting Still Moving Still Staring Outlooking” (synced in 1996’s Jerry Maguire). A varied yet grounded compilation of new material and old (some dating back to Defever’s junior high days), it found the band entering a confident creative stride, leaving listeners enthralled by both its beauty and darkness and proving Defever’s inspired productions utterly unique.

His Name is Alive, the long-standing ethereal darkwave project of Michigan musician Warren Defever, announces the repressing of the band’s first three records on 4AD – Livonia, Home Is In Your Head, and Mouth By Mouth – available from May 8.

Recently reissued in 2024 as part of a quickly sold-out vinyl boxset entitled How Ghosts Affect Relationships: 1990-1993, with audio sourced from the original analogue tapes and remastered by Defever himself, each album will now be available on Standard Black LP and CD (with the CD editions of each record featuring exclusive bonus material sourced from the 2024 boxset).

New His Name Is Alive merchandise will also be available exclusively via the 4AD store, to coincide with these repressings. This includes: a cap bundled with Home is in your Head; a water bottle bundled with Livonia; and a T-shirt bundled with Mouth by Mouth. The items are also available individually.

His Name is Alive has a long history with 4AD, signed to the label in 1989, after label founder Ivo Watts-Russell fell in love with their dark and fragmented sonic inclinations via cassette demos sent in the post. While His Name Is Alive’s sound was in line with the gothic echoes of labelmates Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, they also had a different, nonpareil quality, something existing on the boundary of this earth and another realm further underground.
