Slow Buildings is the third and final studio album from Pale Saints, released by 4AD on 29 August 1994.[4] This was the band's first album following the departure of original singer and bassist Ian Masters and addition of Colleen Browne on bass/vocals; guitarist Meriel Barham, who had joined Pale Saints for their previous album In Ribbons, also took over lead vocal duties. Slow Buildings features the single "Fine Friend" (which was adapted, with new lyrics, from the 1981 song "Poison in the Airwaves" by Scottish band Persian Rugs [5]). "Henry", "One Blue Hill", and "Angel (Will You Be My)", were released as radio singles only.
