Black Angels - Passover Reissue Not Embossed
These are fighting times, people. We are
surrounded by grit, spit, and bloody war, but in the distance moving
forward is The Black Angels. Passover, The Black Angels debut album,
speaks of real-life horrors, death, and destruction with doses of love,
sex, and healing. Don’t lose track, these are caring times as well.
Formed
in 2004 and hailing from the mescaline-infused outskirts of Austin,
Texas, this gang of musical misfits has been on the road non-stop since
their birth, performing at such renowned venues as Sin-e, Middle East,
and Spaceland. In early 2006, the band’s self-titled debut EP was dubbed
highly recommended in Spin Magazine while receiving heavy radio airplay
on such influential stations as KEXP andBBC Radio 1 by Zane Lowe.
Growing
in spades since their EP, Passover showcases a band on the make.
Spiraling upwards to the skies with the enemy straight on their trail,
“The Sniper At The Gates Of Heaven” sees The Black Angels reaching high
and stretching out with trance-inducing guitar lines from Christian
Bland, Nate Ryan’s filthy medical dumpster bass, and the grizzly
preacher vox of lead shaman Alex Maas. “Black Grease” is a bluesy
monster full of swagger propelled by the primitive beat of drummer
Stephanie Bailey and the mourning drone of organist Jennifer Raines.
10-songs
deep, Passover has come again. Reflecting and questioning the
intergenerational psychosis of American social life that surrounds us,
The Black Angels put forth their answers in song. It’s a “Call To Arms”
for those ready to join the good fight, a rock ‘n’ roll salvation during
the times we need it the most. As Maas bellows on “Young Man Dead,”
“Fire for the hills, pick up speed, and let’s go…”__________________________________________________ All records are shipped in record-specific boxes with bubble wrap.
