"Perfect
for quiet Saturday nights at home on the couch with a fifth
of whiskey." (BUST)
"This is evil blues rock, the sexiest soundtrack to
selling your soul you could ever imagine." (NME)
"There's no denying that the Black Angels tap into
something bigger than this time and place." (HARP)
"Startling." (UNCUT)
"Sexy as hell. . . . Bow down and pray to the Black
Angels" (DIW)
From deep in the heart of Texas, armed with the home-grown mantra
"Turn On, Tune In, Drone Out," The Black Angels ring
real and rugged like a crimson full moon-lit night. Formed in
May of 2004, the band's sanctified holy racket was breech-born
out of life-long friendships drawn up in blood and sealed with
a kiss. Their self proclaimed "Native American Drone 'N'
Roll" genre has progressed from communal living and the
members' eclectic upbringings. Bassist Ryan was born on a cult
compound, guitarist Bland is the real deal son of a Texas preacher
man, and drummer Bailey and vocalist Maas believe a little girl
in a red linen dress haunts the group's home.
Taking their name from the classic Velvet Underground tune "The
Black Angel's Death Song," these Angels are far more than
classic revisionists with extensive record collections. This
is heavy-duty psychedelic rock with an incessant primitive beat
that echoes the spirit of the 13th Floor Elevators and early
Stones.
Calling the ghetto outskirts of Austin, TX their HQ, these hungry-to-create
touring nomads crave taking their love for music out on the
road. Their densely-layered songs feature Bland's acid-infused
finger-painting guitar and the melodic incantations of lead
singer Mass within guitar/bass labyrinths from Ryan and Kyle
Hunt. The music is martial-drummed into apocalyptic bliss by
garage-punk goddess Stephanie Bailey.
Following the success of the band's self-titled debut EP and
the 2006 full-length "Passover" comes "Directions
To See A Ghost" — over seventy minutes in length
and the band's mind-numbing psychedelic opus. DTSAG was brilliantly
recorded by Passover's Erik Wofford at Cacophony Recording Studios
in Austin, Texas.
Look out for the Black Angels now through 2008, as they come
to a town near you. |
