Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

Long Player with Steven Rainey

Available for 29 days

For her 1985 masterpiece Hounds of Love, Kate Bush plunged headfirst into electronic music, using synths to revolutionise her sound. But far from the machine sounds of Kraftwerk, she made music that sounds utterly organic and lush. Steven Rainey delves into how Kate Bush created her most celebrated album, with classic tracks, influences, and archive interviews.
