The Scream

Siouxsie and the Banshees · 1978

The Scream is Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1978 debut, produced with Steve Lillywhite. Recording at RAK took a week, followed by three weeks of mixing. The distinction matters: this is a band establishing a carefully shaped recorded identity, rather than merely documenting its arrival.
