TOO MANY SOULS – Avi C. Engel
A most happy new discovery (thank you, Skyjelly): haunting, elegiac vocals over endlessly intriguing instrumental permutations. Releases in a couple of weeks but I’m presently taking a dive into their back catalog to sate me until then. So good.
SPIRIT GUIDE مرشد حقيقة – Skyjelly
Had no clue that this was what my ears needed until I hit play; all of their albums Wish-list-bound.
WALL OF EYES – The Smile
Songsmithing of the highest order: this is great stuff.
GOD GAMES – The Kills
The essence of everything I love about Mosshart and Hince distilled in a single face-ripping, soul-baring set. Heavy rotation on my many nighttime trips of back and forth along the backroads and byways. Seven years is a long wait, but if this is what emerges, I’ll gladly an eternity.
