about this album
In the Rain is the eighth studio album by the English band Sol Invictus, released in 1995 by the record label Tursa. On this recording, Sol Invictus wed trumpet, violin and cello to folk arrangements. Lyrically, the album focuses on the fragility of life and the certainty of death. In the Rain was the first Sol Invictus album to fully incorporate classical instrumentation. It was the last on which the musicians David Mellor and Sarah Bradshaw participated. The frontman Tony Wakeford has described it as his most personal album. According to the book Looking for Europe: Neofolk und Hintergründe, the song "An English Garden" appears to be inspired by the film The Innocents, based on the novel The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. The album liner notes include drawings by Tor Lundvall.
