5.0 out of 5 stars
Phosphene Dream, 5 Oct 2010
The third offering from texas based Black Angels and probably the best. Gone is the massive wash of reverb for something a little clearer but far more 60's sounding. The vocal production is nothing short of excellent as is the recording in general. Steph sound better than any other of their albums, the drums are big and round! There is more of a garage sound about this album with some cracking little tunes (Telephone and Yellow Elevator being highlights). If directions to see a ghost was a little to darkly psychedelic for you then pick this one, you'll love it!!

An album to loose yourself to, 8 May 2011
I'll be brief; I came across this band whilst attending SxSW in Austin. It's easy to describe them in terms of music genres (psychedelic, rock etc) but by far away the most positive thing I can say is that this is an album that sounds great the first time you listen to it and then even more so with each additional play. Whether you listen to it on your iPhone on the train to work, in the car on a long journey or in the bedroom with the lights off, 45minutes will pass in the blink of an eye and you will feel like you have experienced a powerful, legal, high.

its there change, deal with it, 31 Mar 2011
honestly I'm happy for this album, when getting it was half expecting and half- sure it was going to sound like the dark psychedelic vibe of their las two albums, anti-war, recesses of society exposure and hippy cynicism. Oddly enough in this album they're trying to sound more British in their tastes, I keep hearing snippets of style of The Horrors in their wall of sound. Frankly their change was coming, after two albums of really dark negative thought, they would have blown their heads off from all the self imposed depression, (its not a bad thing, but a change in mood is good) , this album is quirky, hip and strangely disturbing in some hidden meaning in which i'm not going to explain, because I feel it ruins the fun of listening to good and real independent minded music, these guys I want to hang out with.
