The Black Angels , a band I really, really like (in case you were wondering), are releasing their third studio record, Phosphene Dream, September 14. What’s more they are releasing it as the first signing of the recently reborn, Blue Horizon Records. Blue Horizon was re-launched by Richard Gottehrer and Seymour Stein and they picked a fine band for the task at hand.
The new record was produced and mixed by Dave Sardy who has worked with the likes of Oasis, Wolfmother and Black Mountain. The band’s music has always been a cleverly updated version of the darker sort of psychedelic music that first reared its head in the early 70s. I think of everything from The Birthday Party to The Gun Club when I hear this band. But it is more than that. Don’t listen to my comparisons. What the hell do I know? You can get a free download of the new track, Bad Vibrations, in exchange for your email address at www.theblackangels.com.
This is the band’s first CD recorded outside of Austin. The press release says they were brought to L.A to get them out of their comfort zone. The band will be at tons of festivals (including Leeds and Reading, Rock en Seine and at ATP in NYC. Tour dates to follow.
Some video interviews I did with the band about their gear a few years back for Gearwire.com
