The Black Angels – Directions To See A Ghost (Vinyl)

The 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, including the levitations on their second album, Directions to See a Ghost. 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 mightve helped to find a cure/But its still not over. Even so, this medicine works wonders.” David Fricke, Rolling Stone
