Product Description

CD Description
Slouching like a pagan funeral parade towards the genre crossroads between 18th century Appalachian murder ballads and 1970's New York experimentalism comes this third Angels of Light album, a true peak in the vast output of leader MichaelGira. The songs are mature yet monstrous, scary yet heartfelt, sparse yet dense, with hypnotic feedback squalls, primalvocal choruses, strings, guitars, tambourines, chimes, and Gira's rich, deep voice, draping itself over the proceedingslike a blanket of poisoned molasses. Tracks balance out between slowly building one-note marches of the damned like "All Souls Rising" and "The Rose of Los Angeles" and quieter moments. "Wedding" opens with a children's choir while the excellent ode to obsessive love, "Kosinski", finds its babblingbrook of electric guitar invaded in the second act by Velvet Underground-style violin and rowdy Irish barroom chorus asGira wails about spying on a woman with beautiful blonde hair. "What Will Come" finds the transcendental anguish reaching its peak with an anguished plea for spiritual deliverance. Like most of Gira's work, this album is fearless in its explorations of the darkened attic heart of man, but this timearound he's opened some curtains. In the light of this newfound maturity, all the ugliness turns out to be beautiful after all; even poisoned molasses can taste sweet.

4.0 out of 5 stars THIRD MASTERPIECE FROM THE ANGELS, 24 May 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
After the brilliant debut New Mother and the follow-up How I Loved You, Michael Gira has pulled off that difficult third one. Palisades with its unusual instrumental flourishes opens the album & is followed by the harsh and dissonant note of All Souls' Rising before the sonic radiance of Kosinski reaches the ears. This is a gem of chiming guitars that are eventually joined by what sounds like violins; haunting imagery and a hypnotic arrangement complete the magic circle.

The Family God is a complex piece containing lovely gentle passages interspersed with louder choruses and intricate instrumentation - it sounds like a flute towards the end. Because She Was is a short 40-second bit of vocals and guitar strumming and the up-tempo Rose Of Los Angeles rocks vigorously whilst the ballad What You Were is graced by tender piano.

Then follows another gem in the form of Sunset Park, a lilting ballad with an infectious tune, rich texture of interacting voices owing to an imaginative vocal arrangement which, together with the repetition of the minimalist lyrics, achieves a mysterious & mesmerizing effect. A children's choir accompanies Gira's aching drawl on the track Wedding, adding an eerie feel to its already strange & experimental stop-start structure.

This beautiful album concludes on an ominous note with the (preferably not) prophetic What Will Come, a melodious ballad with atmospheric instrumentation and an enigmatic spirituality resembling that on Children of God. Shiver me timbers. I love the tracks Palisades and Kosinski as much as masterpieces like This Is Mine, Forever Yours, The Garden Hides The Jewel, Evangeline and Two Women from New Mother and How I Loved You.

There is no voice like Michael Gira's and no musical vision quite like his post-Swans incarnation. I also recommend the 2008 album We Are Him and of his earlier work, Ten Songs for Another World by World of Skin, Swans' Various Failures and for the intrepid undaunted by experimental sounds, Number One of Three by The Body Lovers.
