"Songs from the Rain" is a 1993 album by which of these bands?

"Songs from the Rain" is the third album by the Irish band Hothouse Flowers. It was released in 1993.

The album peaked at No. 7 on the UK "Albums Chart". The band promoted it by playing the "Another Roadside Attraction" festival, and then opening for Midnight Oil.

"Rolling Stone" magazine wrote: "Like Simple Minds, another spiritually inspired act that succumbed to bombast, Hothouse Flowers seem unsure how to express their religiosity without alienating a potential new audience." The "Edmonton Journal" determined that the album "captures the essence of contemporary Irish soul." The "Chicago Tribune" declared that the Hothouse Flowers prove that they remain "among the most emotional, compelling and imaginative of the new Celtic rock bands."

Hothouse Flowers are an Irish rock band that combine traditional Irish music with influences from soul, gospel and rock. Formed in 1985 in Dublin, they started as street performers. Their first album, "People" (1988), was the most successful debut album in Irish history, reaching No. 1 in Ireland and No. 2 in the UK. After two more albums and extensive touring, the group separated in 1994. Since getting back together in 1998, the band members have been sporadically issuing new songs and touring, but also pursuing solo careers.
