The Black Angels
The Black Angels are an American psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas, known for their dark, hypnotic sound and their revival of 1960s psychedelic music. Formed in 2004, the band's music is characterized by droning guitars, reverb-heavy production, and haunting vocals. Their debut album, "Passover," released in 2006, was met with critical acclaim and established them as a leading act in the modern psychedelic rock scene.
The Black Angels have continued to build on their distinctive sound with subsequent albums like "Directions to See a Ghost" and "Phosphene Dream." Their music often explores themes of war, political corruption, and existential dread, reflecting the turbulent times in which they live. The band's commitment to the psychedelic aesthetic extends beyond their music; they are also involved in organizing the annual Austin Psych Fest, which celebrates the genre and brings together like-minded artists and fans.
