I'm still trying to take in all of The Black Angels' latest, Directions to See a Ghost. Its deep, rumbling grooves drone on and on for over 70 minutes. And that's the sober running time. If you're high, it runs closer to three hours, two bags of Cheetos, and one DiGiorno over fresh pizza. Not that I would know anything about smoking out to psychedelic tunes and having to stop the cd around track six...

We made a late reversal on Friday night, opting to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Black Angels at Martini Ranch instead of the Black Keys and Jay Reatard at Marquee Theatre. It’s a good thing, too, because I heard Reatard was sick and didn’t play. From what I can tell, the Black Angels [...]

There are some bands that just shouldn’t make a comeback, beautifully illustrated by the recent release of The B-52s’ “Funplex” - their first original album in nearly two decades. There’s nothing wrong with the music, at least what I’ve heard, it sounds a lot like the last B-52s’ record “Good Stuff”. I just don’t see [...]

Around these parts, Directions to See a Ghost, the second album by Austin rockers, The Black Angels, is easily one of the most anticipated releases of 2008. Their debut release, 2006's Passover, was a heavy and mesmerizing take on the classic psychedelic sounds of bands like The Velvet Underground and 13th Floor Elevators, which aptly captured the fear, paranoia, and anger of living during a new age...
