Album DescriptionAvailable in:
A Kiss in the Dreamhouse is the fifth studio album by English rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was released on 5 November 1982 by Polydor Records. The record marked a change of musical direction: the group used strings for the first time and experimented in the studio. Guitarist John McGeoch played more instruments, including recorders and piano. For music journalist Julian Marszalek of The Quietus, Siouxsie and the Banshees became with this album "one of the great British psychedelic bands" of the post-punk era.
Both a critical and commercial success, A Kiss in the Dreamhouse peaked at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart. The Banshees claimed it to be their personal best, until the release of Peepshow in 1988. In August 2007, it was ranked number 1 on Mojo magazine's list of the best albums of year 1982. The album was remastered and reissued in 2009.
