The Black Angels on Debaser Slussen

The other night we took a stroll down to Debaser Slussen here in Stockholm to see The Black Angels. In case you are not familiar with the Austin band, their psychedelic rock is a bit heavier than the Lo-Fi music we usually talk about here. But the singer Alex Maas does wear a fine beard and Phosphene Dream was definitely one of my favourite albums last year. However, listening to an album is often quite another thing than hearing it live, so our expectations were pretty low. Happily for us this evening The Black Angels really blew us away with their extremely loud, hypnotic sound. In fact, they must be one of the best live acts out there right now. If you have the chance to see them, just go.
