The Black Angels:




PASSOVER :2006: DIRECTIONS TO SEEK A GHOST:2008:
The black angels are a band that i only discovered last year,through a recommendation from a good friend..and what a discovery it was.
They are a new psychedelic rock band,the name derives from the velvet underground song
'the black angels of death song'..very reminiscent of the velvet underground, and the 13th floor elevators,and have been compared with The Warlocks & Black Mountain..also following in the footsteps of spiritualized & the spacemen 3...which all thrown into the musical melting pot together,creates a neo-psychedelic sound.
Passover:2006..was a outstanding debut album..which put them on the new band to watch out for on the Psychedelic rock scene...
the tracks which i recommend from Passover are 'black grease','young men' 'sniper at the gates of heaven'..these are my personal favorites from the album,but to be honest..the full album is a
modern classic...give your ears a musical feast...go and buy this album,you won't be dissapointed.

Directions to seek a ghost:2008.
A wonderful second release from the black angels..still following the neo-psychedelic sounds of
passover...with a side helping of ethnic sounds thrown in just to add some nice touches to make this album flow along nicely.Highlighted tracks to check out are 'doves' & 'deer-ree-shee.
If you like neo-psychedelic rock music at it;s best..then this is the band to check out...go for it folks!
