An April March

Lesons in Vengeance (Bedazzled)
by Chris Adams

The most accurate, concise description of this disc is that nefarious, critical fall-back, “ethereal.” It’s not original, but it works. Which is another way of describing this album. Sure, there’s more than a hint of the Cocteau Twins and the Sundays in the mix, but the gorgeous, angelic ache of Danella Hocevars vocals, combined with the textured, spacious chime of the music makes for seductive, if not entirely unique, listening. Bedazzled Records specializes in this atmospheric kinda stuff, and, to my ears, Lessons… is one of their best releases to date. Slip it on after a hard day’s work, close your eyes, and sink into its spell.
