The Love of Hopeless Causes

The Love of Hopeless Causes was released in 1993 and is the sixth studio album by British rock band, New Model Army. It was produced by Niko Bolas, except "Afternoon Song", which was produced by Riku Mattila. It featured guest musicians, guitarist, Adrian Portas and Clive Layton, who played the hammond organ on "Fate". After the break from EMI, The Love Of Hopeless Causes was the first and only album to be released on Epic, before the band went independent forming their own label, Attack Attack Records. The album sees the band abandoning the folk rock oriented sound of their prior albums, Thunder and Consolation (1989) and Impurity (1990), going for a more classic straightforward rock sound. The album reached #22 in the UK albums chart in April 1993.
