In the Flat Field is the debut studio album by the English gothic rock band Bauhaus. It was recorded between December 1979 and July 1980, and released on 7 November 1980 by record label 4AD, the first full-length release on that label. The cover artwork is a reproduction of Duane Michals' 1949 photograph, Homage to Puvis de Chavannes. The band recorded the album after releasing their first three singles, "Bela Lugosi's Dead", "Dark Entries", and "Terror Couple Kill Colonel", conceiving the record with influences from post-punk bands such as Siouxsie and the Banshees and glam rock figures such as David Bowie. In the Flat Field initially received polarized reviews. Over time, however, its standing has improved, and it is now highly regarded as one of the first and most influential gothic rock albums.
