THE BLACK ANGELS REVEAL VIDEO FOR "EVIL THINGS"
PREMIERED VIA GUITAR WORLD
Blue Horizon is excited to reveal the video for the Black Angels' "Evil Things" from Indigo Meadow. The clip, which was premiered via Guitar World, takes dark, gritty scenes from a child's dreams -- many of which including an ominous black horse -- to create a fitting accompaniment to the sounds and themes of the droning, chugging track. "Evil Things," which was directed by Kevin Castanheira, is available for stream and embed HERE.
The band has been hard at work on new material and recently wrapped up a winter tour with the legendary Roky Erickson. In the near future, The Black Angels will be playing South By Southwest, Austin Psych Fest, Sasquatch Festival and Maverick Festival. Austin Psych Fest, curated by The Black Angels, is in its seventh year. From May 2 - 4, 2014, the lineup boasts The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, Loop, The Dandy Warhols, Panda Bear and many more. The full lineup and festival information can be found at www.austinpsychfest.com.
Upon Indigo Meadow's release, iTunes selected the album as an Editors' Choice. The Associated Press said, "Imagine tossing bands from the pantheon of American psychedelia like The Electric Prunes, Count Five, 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds into your blender, adding a splash of Sabbath and a dollop of early Soundgarden or Mudhoney, and you've got Austin's The Black Angels. On Indigo Meadow, these Texans keep this elixir swirling. Their fourth album is modern psychedelia, true to the earlier form, with all the weird, hypnotic, fuzzy guitar sounds and dirgelike keyboards, only really well produced." Relix hailed, "Hyperinventive when it counts, the Angels aren't just mimicking a late '60s garage sound - they're bending, stretching and molding it in their own image." Recently, the band appeared on PBS' renowned
performing songs from Indigo Meadow. Additionally, the album was included on best of 2013 lists, such as Rough Trade and Waterloo Records.
The Black Angels' (Christian Bland - guitar, drone machine/organ; Alex Maas - vocals, bass, organ, drone machine; Stephanie Bailey - drums, percussion; Kyle Hunt - keyboards, percussion, bass, guitar; Jake Garcia - guitar, bass) most revelatory collection thus far, Indigo Meadow marks the Austin, Texas-based band's fourth full-length release, following 2010's acclaimed Phosphene Dream. Once again The Black Angels prove themselves the undisputed avatars of contemporary psychedelic rock, simultaneously exalting the genre's kaleidoscopic past as they thrust it ever further into the future.
