Leaves Me Blind is the second album by Australian indie rock/electronic band Underground Lovers, released in the UK in August 1992 and Australia in December. It was the first album released as part of a recording contract with the Polydor label. Three singles, "Ladies Choice" (August 1992) "I Was Right" (November 1992) and a remix of "Your Eyes" (August 1993) were taken from the album.[3]
The band included surging, 15-minute versions of "Your Eyes" as part of their 35-minute sets supporting The Cure on their eight-date Australian tour in August 1992.[4]
A version of "Whisper Me Nothing" by Underground Lovers featuring Stephen Cummings on vocals appeared on Cummings' 1994 CD single "September 13" .
In 2010, music writers and critics John O'Donnell, Toby Creswell and Craig Mathieson named Leaves Me Blind as the 54th greatest Australian album in their book 100 Best Australian Albums.[5][6]
