Description
�The Black Angels bring the aura of mid-1966 the drilling guitars of early Velvet Underground shows, the raga inflections of late-show Fillmore jams, the acid-prayer stomp of Austin avatars the 13th Floor Elevators everywhere they go, including the levitations on their second album, _Directions to See a Ghost. Mid-Eighties echoes of Spacemen 3 and the Jesus and Mary Chain also roll through the scoured-guitar sustain and Alex Maas� rocker-monk incantations.If you�re familiar with Passover, the band�s 2006 debut, you�ll know that The Black Angels�s music alone is enough to invoke spirits. There�s a name for the band�s sound; they call it �hypno-drone �n roll�. It�s the sound of long nights on peyote, of dreams of a new world order, and of half-invented memories of the seamy side of �60s psychedelia.
While the Iraq war is still a major influence on the band�s lyrics, there are new forces at work here, including Eugene Zamyatin�s dystopian novel We and in Christian Bland�s words �psychic information from the past and future.� See, The Black Angels really are in contact with ghosts.
