Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone Out

Bauhaus – The Sky’s Gone Out
Label: Beggars Banquet (US Pressing)
Format: LP

Bauhaus’ third studio album, The Sky’s Gone Out, gets its first-ever official US vinyl pressing courtesy of Beggars Banquet, who now hold worldwide rights to the band's iconic catalog following a recent rights reversion. Originally released in 1982 (not 1992, despite the note), this record marks a pivotal moment in the band’s evolution and a deepening of their dark, experimental post-punk sound.

With The Sky’s Gone Out, Bauhaus expanded their sonic palette, incorporating acoustic textures, glam theatrics, and avant-garde excursions alongside the stark, atmospheric tension that defined earlier releases. The album includes fan favorites like “Spirit”, “Silent Hedges”, and a jagged, unexpected cover of Brian Eno’s “Third Uncle.”

This new US edition arrives with Beggars Banquet’s signature attention to detail, making it an essential acquisition for longtime fans and newcomers alike. A landmark release in the post-punk canon, The Sky’s Gone Out still feels unsettling, bold, and ahead of its time.
