Photos and words by Debi Del Grande There is a fine marriage between LA music fans and The Black Angels. Whenever the Austin band comes to town, most put on their 60s-inspired attire, mess the hair up and float away to the pyschedelic sounds. With kaleidoscope images as the backdrop at The Mayan, the band brought its latest Indigo Meadow as Alex Maas took us on a higher trip and Christian Bland owned that Rickenbacker. [...]

The fourth album from the Austin, Texas band is neo-psychedelia with strong echoes of classic psych sounds from the '60s: in here you'll find elements of the Doors, Love and, especially, fellow Texans the Thirteenth Floor Elevators. It's heavy on the fuzz, the phasing and the reverb, and the Vox Continental and Farfisa organs, and it combines equal parts melody and strangeness for a supreme pop-psych experience. ‘Don’t Play With Guns’ must sound immense live, great fuzzy psych pop with an anthemic, killer chorus of laser-beam precision. ‘Evil Things’ isn’t really evil, but [...]

Photos by Carrie Johnston The Black Angels ’ spin on 60’s psych-rock is nothing short of monumental. Jim Morrisson died too soon, but thank goodness people like Alex Maas are alive now to channel his voice and break through the haunting spectrum of sound that The Doors (Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, et al) established. Their newest album, Indigo Meadows at once guides and disorients. Stephanie Baliey’s drumming leads a stampede of soldiers onward through a dizzying maze of fuzz, wobbles, and foreboding lyrics while the crushing power of it opens the mind and forces [...]
