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. But he knows what time it is. ’You say the Beatles stopped the war,” Maas sings in ‘Never/Ever.’ ‘They might’ve helped to find a cure/But it’s still not over.’ Even so, this medicine works wonders.” – David Fricke, Rolling Stone When last we met The Black Angels, they were staring into the desert sun somewhere outside of Austin, Texas. Two years later, night has fallen and the spirits have come out. It’s time for The Black Angels to provide Directions To See A Ghost. If you’re familiar with Passover, the band’s 2006 debut, you’ll know that The Black Angels’ music alone is enough to invoke spirits. There’s a name for the band’s sound: “hypno-drone ‘n’ roll.” It’s the sound of long nights on peyote, dreams of a new world order, and half-invented memories of the seamy side of 60s psychedelia. The Black Angels formed in Austin, Texas, in 2004, comprised of six people (now five) from very different backgrounds. Singer/vocalist Christian Bland is the son of a Presbyterian Pastor and was raised in a devoutly religious household. Bassist/guitarist Nate Ryan was born on a cult compound, and drummer Stephanie Bailey claims she’s a descendent of Davy Crocket. She and Alex Maas (vocals/guitar) both believe a little girl in a red linen dress haunts the group’s home. “Civil War battlefields are prime spots for seeing ghosts,” says Bland. “One time at Kennesaw mountain in Georgia, I was climbing the mountain in the middle of June and it must have been close to 100 degrees, but in this one particular spot it was very cold. The hairs on my neck stood up and I knew something strange was happening. Then the wind whispered something like ‘retreat,’ and I did. I later learned that the spot where I was on the battlefield was known as ‘the dead angle,’ the place where the fiercest fighting took place. The confederates ended up retreating from the mountain towards Peachtree Creek.” – The Black Angels’ classic sophomore album. – Pressed at RTI. – Triple LP housed in a Stoughton tri-fold gatefold jacket. – Special color edition pressed on Metallic Silver Wax Artist Black Angels, The Genre Psychedelia / Garage Label Light In The Attic Buying Options 3LP Coloured Vinyl Gatefold Sleeve Format 3LP , Coloured Vinyl , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings You On The Run Doves Science Killer Mission District 18Years Deer-Ree-Shee Never/Ever Vikings You In Color The Return Snake In The Grass Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Black Angels, The and more from Psychedelia / Garage View Product Quick View Black Angels, The Wilderness of Mirrors Rock And Pop | Partisan Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th September 2022 £23.00 - £25.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Black Angels, The Wilderness of Mirrors £23.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Partisan Records Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th September 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View Black Angels, The Echoes From A Mass Live At LEVITATION Psychedelia / Garage | The Reverberation Appreciation Society | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 2nd April 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Angels, The Echoes From A Mass Live At LEVITATION £19.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: The Reverberation Appreciation Society SKU: RVRB047B Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Angels, The Death Song Psychedelia / Garage | Partisan Records | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st April 2017 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Angels, The Death Song £23.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Partisan Records SKU: PTKF2147-1 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various - The Psychedelic Sounds Of The Sonic Cathedral Tribute To Roky Erickson And The 13th Floor Elevators Psychedelia / Garage | Sonic Cathedral | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2010 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various - The Psychedelic Sounds Of The Sonic Cathedral Tribute To Roky Erickson And The 13th Floor Elevators £15.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sonic Cathedral SKU: SCR013LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Radio Moscow 3 and 3 Quarters Psychedelia / Garage | Alive | 1LP Released 2nd January 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Radio Moscow 3 and 3 Quarters £18.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Alive SKU: LPALIVE0129 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moby Grape The Place and the Time Psychedelia / Garage | Sundazed | 180g, 2LP Released 30th June 2016 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moby Grape The Place and the Time £42.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5229 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 30th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mad River Mad River Psychedelia / Garage | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 15th July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mad River Mad River £28.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5243 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Goldray Rising Psychedelia / Garage | Akashic Records | 1LP Released 5th May 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Goldray Rising £19.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Akashic Records SKU: AKASHICLP002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dungen & Woods Myths 003?
