New Model Army’s The Ghost Of Cain marked a turning point for the Bradford band, expanding beyond the raw attack of their early work into a broader, more atmospheric sound. Produced by Glyn Johns, the group’s third album balances post-punk intensity with a darker, more widescreen approach. Best known for the fierce '51st State', a pointed critique of American influence on British culture, the record stands as a defining statement from the band and a key release in alternative rock of the era.
