- We had the pleasure of interviewing The Black Angels over Zoom video.
Austin’s psych-rock legends will release their brand new album Wilderness of Mirrors on September 16 with Partisan Records. Today, the band has revealed experimental single “Firefly”, a ‘60s French pop homage which features the sultry intonations in both French and English from Thievery Corporation’s LouLou Ghelichkani. The new song follows acclaimed lead single/video “El Jardín'' which features Austin Amelio from The Walking Dead and stars his son Lev.
The most impactful music reflects a wide-screen view of the world back at us, helping distill the universal into something far more relatable. The Black Angels have become standard-bearers for modern psych-rock that does exactly that, which is one of many reasons why the group’s new album feels so aptly named. It has been 5 years since fans have been treated to an album from the band and Wilderness of Mirrors marks a triumphant return with their foot on the pedal. The new collection expertly refines the Black Angels’ psychedelic rock attack alongside a host of intriguing sounds and textures while political tumult, the pandemic, and the ongoing devastation of the environment have provided ample fodder for their signature sound and fierce lyrical commentary.
Since forming in 2004 in Austin, TX, the Black Angels remain masterfully true to psych-rock forebears such as Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Arthur Lee and the members of the Velvet Underground, all of whom are namechecked on “The River.” The band's global influence is solidified by their beloved, long-running Levitation Festival, the veritable ground zero for the genre’s past, present and future -- celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

Love the advice at the end, you do have to believe in yourself, and they are definitely the best at what they do. Most people would say hey, it’s just business and declare bankruptcy, it’s nice to see they did the right thing to make sure people got paid for their time and effort despite the rain. Excellent interview! I really enjoyed seeing a glimpse behind the curtain and finding out about the history of one of my favorite bands! I’ve seen them twice at a small venue in my neighborhood in Philadelphia, both shows were amazing. A few things I think the black angels are perfect background music for our losing control during a bad trip, winding up at the wrong place at the wrong time and going down the wrong road in the middle of the night wishing you didn’t make the wrong term. Keep up the great work and great content and keep it Poppin🍾
Thank you so much for watching our interview and taking the time to comment! It's great to hear that you've seen The Black Angels live and enjoyed their shows. It's wonderful that you appreciate the effort they put in to ensure everyone got paid, even after the rain. It's a reminder that it's important to value the people and relationships involved in the music business. Do you already subscribe to our channel? If not, I'd love for you to join us! What would you say is the perfect soundtrack to a roadtrip?
@@BringinitBackwards you earned my subscription. Obviously the best soundtrack for a road trip would be me singing my favorite songs to everybody else in the car until we get to our destination, LMAO. But seriously, I made lots of E. West Rd. trips across the country when I was younger in the 90’s and early 00’s, The best time I ever made was when me and a friend made it from Flagstaff Arizona, to Philadelphia in less than 40 hours(o, The good old days when you could still get speed pills over the counter, LMAO). As I think about those fun, road trips, remembering what I was seeing out the window, I’m hearing Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Fugazi, Jimi Hendrix (lots and lots of Hendricks), the doors, U2, REM, Frank Zappa, lots of early Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, The Rolling Stones, the Talking Heads, The black, Crowes, Beck, The far side, the Beastie Boys, a tribe, called quest, De La Soul, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, but you probably got the vibes. Example that sticks out forever is making sure we had a timed perfectly to have Frank Zappa moving to Montana soon blurring out the speakers right as we were driving into Montana for the first time, I love it when a plan comes together. But now i’m old and a road trip sounds scary, my back is killing me after driving down to the Jersey shore and that isn’t really a road trip, LMAO. If I were to drive across the country tomorrow, and had to put together a playlist, that would be (obviously (all my black angels albums, the cure, Joy Division, tame impala,Ween(The first time I saw them was in high school at a dump in New Jersey called city Gardens, it was a great show. I’ve seen them many times since them as they have gotten bigger and bigger), and all of those bands will pop up every once in a while in between lots and lots of jazz these days, I listen to jazz all the time, I’m talking about Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Charles Mingus, Medeski, Martin, and Wood, Lou Donaldson and lots of other jazz greats that were bebop in and making the scene before I was born. Thanks for asking the question, it was kind of fun, remembering my old road trips and thinking about what I would want to hear on a road trip tomorrow☺️🍾
I love them

@@BringinitBackwards I guess I don't really think of them as songs . More like a rush of experiences where you can feel your whole life has led you to a certain point, just to remind you that you are really alive. Can't say enough about them. Thanks for posting this interview. :)
Very good job! Underground scene is not hype anymore but who cares...
