Dang, can you believe how fast the time flies? It seems like only yesterday that LITA was launching the career of beloved Austin·based rockers The Black Angels and their self described "Electrified Native American Drone 'n' Roll". Collecting The Black Angels' first two EPs on a single disc, Another Nice Pair (UTA 066) stands as a potent document of the band's formative psych-rock sound.
The A side (The Black Angels EP released 10/1 8/2005 as UTA 017) includes key tracks from the critically acclaimed debut album Passover (LIT A 018, released 4/11 /2006) in addition to the non·album jam "Winter '68." The B side flip presents the original Black Angel Exit EP (released 5/13/2008) which was available only as a limited edition bonus EP for those who pre-ordered the band's sophomore Directions To See A Ghost LP (UTA 033, released 4/1 5/2008). This side also includes tracks that were available only as bonus material on the limited edition 3-LP version of Directions To See A Ghost, in addition to the iTunes exclusive "Black Angel Exit/Shine," and a ripping cover of Black Mountain's "No Satisfaction."
Originally taking their name from the classic Velvet Underground tune "Black Angel Death Song", these Black Angels are far more than mere revisionists. 'We're doing a different thing", says vocalist Alex Maas, clearly in· spired by having backed the group's hero Roky Erickson (13th Floor Elevators) on multiple occasions and a non-stop world-wide touring schedule since their Light In The Attic debut over five years ago. Armed with a unique brand of heavy-duty psychedelic rock, it's time for this fine group of Texans to share a little more space in your growing record collection.
