Vane (album)

Vane is the only studio album by Bleak, an offshoot of the band Lycia, released in 1995 by Projekt Records.

Reception

AllMusic awarded Vane four out of five stars and said "for every more familiar Lycia element there's something extra – more electronic noises, a playing down of the guitar in favor of other instruments, odd drum patterns – to mitigate against any of this being simply the equivalent of outtakes from the main band's work." I Die: You Die said "Vane was distinct from Lycia not so much in terms of instrumentation but intent; where contemporary records from the latter project were focused on finding a balance between lushness and severity, Bleak would largely forgo any sense of comfort for, well, bleakness."
