The Banshees followed in 1982 with the psychedelic A Kiss in the Dreamhouse . The record, featuring strings on several numbers, was an intentional contrast to their previous work, with Severin later describing it as a “sexy album”. The British press greeted it enthusiastically. Richard Cook finished his NME review with this sentence: “I promise…this music will take your breath away”. At that time, McGeoch was struggling with alcohol problems, and was hospitalised on his return to a promotional trip from Madrid . The band fired him shortly thereafter. Severin asked Robert Smith to take over guitarist duties again; Smith accepted and rejoined the group in November 1982.
