LP on 180g orange and gold mixed vinyl, just 300 of this variant in the UK! now on black vinyl

The debut album from Catherine Wheel, available on vinyl again for it's 25th anniversary. A lot of this 1992 record consists of soaring shoegaze-indie-rock classics.

Ferment is the band’s most unique record; it serves as a fitting lens through which to view the group’s work throughout the 1990s. The album displays Catherine Wheel’s early attempts to meld drone-drenched shoegaze with heavy rock.

After all these years, it is the record’s twin epics, “Black Metallic” and “Salt”, that immediately illustrate why Catherine Wheel was so meaningful to so many of the bands that came after them. “Black Metallic”, perhaps the group’s most famous single, is absolutely otherworldly.
