Heaven and the Sea is an album by the English musician Pete Shelley, released in 1986.[1][2] He supported it by opening for the Bangles on a North American tour as well as playing solo shows.[3][4][5] "Waiting for Love" was the first single.[6]
The album was produced by Stephen Hague.[7] Shelley wrote all of its songs, which he recorded between September 1985 and May 1986, using a Boston studio belonging to the Cars for much of the work.[8][9] He recorded for so long and with so many musicians that he elected to forgo credits.[10] Shelley wanted to combine pop hooks with depressing lyrics on many of the songs.[9]
