Song of the Day: The Black Angels – Haunting at 1300 McKinley
I woke up, pummeled by the glorious, psychedelic assault of The Black Angels. Thank you KEXP. I am haunted, yet free to start the day. If there is a problem with this song, it is only that it is too short … Yet, it should be noted that the Angels, in their mind-expanding omniscience, make no mistakes, they merely bend the world to its will. Not yet under the influence of caffeine, I am now gratefully infused with the eternal life of their crunching guitars. The way is clear: I have no choice, but the future is mine to shape. So, I will play my part in the Angels’ grandly designed plan and order up my tickets to see them Tuesday night at Seattle’s Showbox. The only question is why didn’t I get tickets sooner? The only answer is that I clearly deserve to be sonically flogged – preferably in front of the speakers on stage right.
“Haunting at 1300 McKinley” is off their new album Phosphene Dream. Buy it from the band.
