When we first watched The Black Angels at a side show in SXSW, our eyes all widened and ears cleared. It says a lot for local hippies from Austin to stand out amongst 1700 international bands. They were intoxicating.

The Black Angels birth heavy, dark layers of psychadelic sound- with emotive flair we rarely see any more. Like Velvet Underground's "Run Run Run" stage (after all, they're named after the Velvet Underground song, "The Black Angel's Death Song,"), they also craft quirky psychedelic compositions ala Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit over the dark, revertebrating undertones like Jesus & Mary Chain. To say the least, we've been deeply anticipating their new album, Directions To See A Ghost, which is digitally released today.  Check out "Doves" below and thank us later.
