While a noodly/spacey rock project in the past, Warn Defever has made a full-blown jazzy r&b album with the help of Lovetta Pippen, a Harlem choir girl.
Angel Youth, despite being a complete rip-off of Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World is an emotional meteor shower that flattens me to the ground with every song.
Interesting arpeggios and harmonies, loads of breakdowns, heartfelt singing, At The Drive-In-ish guitar pull-offs, and none of the stubborn predictability.
These guys ride a rocking horse between stompin’ “punk” like Electric Frankenstein and Zeke, and the kickass “stoner” like Nebula and The Mushroom River Band.
