At some points in their respective band careers, many artists decide to embark on their own to pursue solo endeavors. I always find delight in listening to what they had to express musically on a more personal level, without the constraint of a group concensus or compromising one’s individual creativity.
Here’s another batch of albums released by solo artists, most of whom were members of high-profile bands associated with the genre.
* Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Gos) – Jane Wiedlin (1985) (“Blue Kiss”)
* Alison Moyet (Yazoo) – Essex (1994) (“Whispering Your Name”)
* Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera) – Surf (2002) (“Turning the World Around”)
* Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) – Paper Monsters (2003) (“Bitter Apple”)
* Daniel Ash (Bauhaus / Tones on Tail / Love & Rockets) – Foolish Thing Desire (1992) (“Hete She Comes”)
* Siouxsie Sioux (Siouxsie & the Banshees) – Mantaray (2007) (“Into a Swan”)
