Review

Rolling Stone (p.84) - "[T]he 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..."
Magnet (p.96) - "[With] organ, fuzz/reverb guitar and sitar-laced dronescapes; hypnotic tribal drums and thicker-than-strata bass; Alex Maas' dramatic, Jim Morrison-esque vocals; and the lysergic ambience of Spacemen 3 and the Velvet Underground."
Q (Magazine) (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] 'You In Color' and the 16-minute 'Snake In The Grass' conjuring an air of oppressive menace....It makes for an impressive sound..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith the psychedelia stripped to its bare, blackened bones, as cavernous and gothic as -- oh yes -- a sonic cathedral."
Clash (magazine) (p.123) - "It's uncompromisingly ambient; from the bath of sultry noise to the Velvet Underground-esque excessiveness of opening track 'You On The Run'."

Title Note

The Black Angels: Christian Bland (vocals, guitar, bass instrument, bass guitar, drums); Alex Maas (vocals, sitar, organ, bass instrument, bass guitar); Jennifer Raines (vocals); Kyle Hunt (guitar, organ, bass instrument, bass guitar, drums); Nate Ryan (guitar, bass instrument, bass guitar); Stephanie Bailey (bass instrument, bass guitar, drums, percussion).

Audio Mixer: Erik Wofford.

Recording information: Cacophony Recording Studio, Austin, TX.

On their second album, Austinites the Black Angels continue their obsession with the darker side of psychedelia and the harder side of shoegaze, turning out fuzzy riffs that reverberate into infinity, propelled by insistent, minimalist grooves that conjure up a trance-like effect. When they really let it all hang out, as on the epic-length tracks "Never/Ever" and "Snake in the Grass," they even evoke fond memories of neo-psych cult legends Opal in their prime.

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

The Black Angels are back with "Directions To See A Ghost", the second full-length album from Austin’s darkest droners. With tidal rhythms and rasping epics, "Directions To See A Ghost""is a driving, psychedelic masterpiece that churns through 72 minutes and 11 tracks. This highly anticipated follow-up to the band's 2006 critically acclaimed debut will leave listeners buzzing.
