Album name:Directions To See A Ghost
This is evil blues rock, the sexiest soundtrack to selling your soul you could ever imagine. --New Music Express
Perfect for quiet Saturday nights at home on the couch with a fifth of whiskey. --Bust
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 might've helped to find a cure/But it's still not over.'' Even so, this medicine works wonders. --David Fricke, Rolling Stone
