The Oedipus Project
Neo-psychedelic rockers The Black Angels continue to keep garage rock alive in the new millennium with Indigo Meadow due in April.
2010’s Phosphene Dream gave us the Nuggets-worthy song “Telephone”.
“Don’t Play with Guns” from the new album is equally passionate.
Bonnaroo, the four day music and arts festival, begins today in Manchester, Tennessee.
This is the tenth year and the lineup is stellar.
In celebration of Bonnaroo, RCRDLBL has released from their archives a free download of 24 bands performing this year including Arcade Fire, Florence and the Machine, Sleigh Bells, Best Coast, Iron & Wine, and the Black Angels among others.
Featured here is Twin Shadow, the nom de plume of George Lewis, Jr., who developed his chops in Boston before reinventing himself in Brooklyn.
“I Can’t Wait” is from his debut album Forget.

The Black Angels out of Austin have the distinction of not only being a searing psychedelic rock band but also of having briefly backed up the legendary Roky Erickson when he performed a few select dates in 2008. Now their third album, Phosphene Dream, has just been released on Blue Horizons (a label recently reestablished by three notable record executives: Seymour Stein, Richard Gottehrer and Mike Vernon). Hear the contemporary garage sounds of the Black Angels on “Telephone”, the Song of the Day.
