About
In the Flat Field is the debut studio album by Northampton gothic rock band Bauhaus, released on 4AD in 1980. It reached number 72 on the UK Albums Chart and is regarded as a foundational document of gothic rock, combining Daniel Ash’s angular guitar work with Peter Murphy’s dramatic vocals and a dark, cavernous production aesthetic. The album established Bauhaus as one of the most important British post-punk bands.
