With\u00a0<u>THE LIGHT BELOW<\/u>, we\u2019re once again invited behind the velvet curtain, to the smoke-filled room where whiskey-voiced Angell holds court, telling his tales over bluesy riffs with an alluring darkness.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Known for his bruised, evocative vocals, and craftsman-like songwriting, he uses the new album to build on an already formidable catalog, with a cinematic style that oscillates between lust and loathing. Described by Angell as \u201ca sort of mindfulness exercise,\u201d the new tracks focus restless energy left in the wake of personal loss and creative self-doubt. \u201cI\u2019ve always used music as a way to deal with negative experiences and to figure myself out,\u201d he explains, \u201cI\u2019ve lost a few close friends the last couple years and some of these songs provided the light I needed to process that. Those same songs have now become a way to continue a conversation with the ghosts.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K7ZoQiitssk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><u>PancakesAndWhiskey.com<\/u>\u00a0went on to call\u00a0<u>THE LIGHT BELOW<\/u>,\u00a0\u201c\u2026a powerful rush of dark rock\u2026mesmerizing\u2026 has a uniquely cinematic feel&#8230;a sit-down-and-listen, edge-of-your-seat kind of record, but it\u2019s equally pleasing when you might be listening more passively; a gripping life soundtrack that makes everyday moments feel like film noir. From Andrews\u2019 strikingly precise drumming to Anderson\u2019s vivid keys to the vibe-setting saxophone by Lothian, it\u2019s a colorful base on which Angell paints his pensive lyrics.\u00a0<u>THE LIGHT BELOW<\/u>\u00a0is like a sonic trip to a place where neon signs and car headlights illuminate leather-jacketed late-nighters.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mail-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14470 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mail-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mail-3.jpg 250w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mail-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mail-3-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>While\u00a0<u>PhilsPicks.com<\/u>\u00a0called it, \u201cOne of 2021\u2019s essential\u00a0albums,\u201d\u00a0<u>RPMOnline.com<\/u>\u00a0declared, \u201c\u2026a contender for album of the year already,\u201d and\u00a0<u>MyGlobalMind.com<\/u>\u00a0proclaimed, \u201cBluesy, alternative, artful rock music.

This time around, they\u2019ve recruited Will Andrews (drums), Gregor Lothian (saxophone), and Dean DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots) for some roof-raising guitar work on \u201cDivine Intervention\u201d as well as \u201cStood up at the Gates of Heaven.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWho you\u2019re playing with obviously changes the dynamics of what you\u2019re doing,\u201d explains Angell. \u201cAs with most labor of love projects there was blood, sweat and tears, but those shared the space with a lot of laughs and personal epiphanies. It\u2019s never easy to articulate something you hear in your head to another person.
