DOWNLOAD THEN SEE: Your 33 Black Angels

Your 33 Black Angels may hail from Brooklyn but they sound like a lysergic rural dream slowly seeping out of the ground. There's a deep weariness to their songs and a sense that at any point they could just put their instruments down and walk away. But the music is so deeply embedded in the members' bones they can't resist. So songs tend to wind along, experiences surges of passion and electricity, and display an ageless inevitability. We're not implying the tempos are lazy at all, though, since there's a heavy Southern swagger at work here too. It's just that the whole package feels like something that's always been there. When you drive through the mountains in the east and the layers of rock appear and undulate and change color outside your window as you drive by one can imagine the cast of Your 33 Black Angel hard at work extracting musical goop and ooze to then drip over their songs.
The band is on tour and plays Quenchers tonight. We don't know how many members of the band will be there, we're told the cast of characters onstage fluctuates between 5 and 10 members at a time, but we are certain that their well worth checking out.
