Unexpectedly, one of the most beautiful and hopeful albums of the year comes from Black Angels singer Alex Maas.
Luca capstones 2020 with a reminder of what s truly important and wondrous in the world. Named for his preschooler, the solo bow strips back the local psych revivalist s sound, still swaddled in vocal reverb but patient and swaying with soft strings. Slip Into evokes the 13th Floor Elevators both titularly and with a fever dream of influences fading in on a sound of folkies Bill Fay or Tim Hardin laced with Portishead rhythms, while The Light That Will End Us sets a theme by inverting the Black Angels war dreams with a combating light from within. Notably, Luca means bringer of light. Likewise, Special strikes tender, a lullaby set to the Velvet Underground alongside cribside meditation 500 Dreams.
