Austin, United States (2004 – present)
The Black Angels are a psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas, formed in May 2004. Their name derives from the Velvet Underground song “The Black Angel’s Death Song”. The band consists of Alex Maas (vocals, guitar), Christian Bland (guitar), Kyle Hunt (keyboards), Nate Ryan (bass) and Stephanie Bailey (drums).
Hannah Levin’s review of the Black Angels album, Passover, described them as “Walking in the shadows cast by Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized mastermind Jason Pierce” and compared them to The Warlocks and Black Mountain, also invoking “dirges” reminiscent of both The Velvet Underground and the 13th Floor Elevators. The band’s icon is a stylized image of Nico.
In December 2007, the group announced on their blog that their second album will be released in Spring of 2008. In March 2008 a release date of May 13th was announced for their second album, Directions to See a Ghost. Their third album is “Phosphene Dream” released in 2010. This record is slowly starting to give Black Angels international recognition.

They sound really similiar to Clinic. The singers voices are almost identical. Heard them watching The Art Of Flight and fell in love with the song in it. Thought it was Clinic though and was thinking yeah, I should listen more to Clinic. But was wrong and black angels might be even better than Clinic. Have been repeating Young Men Dead all day long and now i'm finally exploring the rest of the album. great band.

I was reticent to bother with Passover. I figured Directions and Phosphene were so good that Passover would be a disappointment. Not so. It's remarkably consistent.

The singer always has that hat on. Until I'm proven otherwise, I'm assuming he's bald under there.
