April Showers

There Are Two Artists Using This Name. April Showers Were A Short-Lived Glaswegian Pop Duo Comprised Of Jonathan Bernstein And Beatrice Colin. Releasing Their Only Known Single "Abandon Ship" On Big Star A Subsidiary Of Chrysalis In 1984 It Quickly Gained A Cult Following Due To It's Sparkling Production From Anne Dudley Art Of Noise And String-Heavy Arrangements. This Quality Was Echoed On B-Side "Everytime We Say Goodbye" With The 12-Inch Featuring An Instrumental Of Abandon Ship "Abandon Ship Sing-A-Long-A-Wonder Mix". Both Records Are Now Highly Collectible. Plans To Release A Second Single On The Label Operation Twilight And The Inclusion Of Abandon Ship On The Compilation Album "10 Years Of Marina Records" Seems To Be A Footnote To The Woefully Brief Story Of April Showers The Perfect Example Of A Band That Has Disappeared Into And Whose Status Grows With History. There Is Also An American Low-Fi Acoustic Artist Going By The Same Name. read less
