The Black Angels Plus Night Beats

The Black Angels third album, and first release on Blue Horizon, is the highly acclaimed Phosphene Dream, out now. Phosphene Dream marks a giant leap forward for the band. Produced and mixed by Dave Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother, Black Mountain) over a period of six months in Los Angeles, the album shows off both sonically and musically a bold new direction for The Black Angels, a fresh take on the neo-Psychedelic movement they’ve been at the forefront of for years. The band is featured in the UNKLE song “With You In My Head,” which is played during the most pivotal scene in the hugely popular film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The song is also featured on the film’s recently released soundtrack.

While past albums Passover and Directions to See a Ghost were recorded in the band’s hometown of Austin, Texas, the process by which Phosphene Dream was created pulled the band out of their comfort zone and forced them to look at songwriting and recording in a way they never had before. Years of non-stop worldwide touring have turned The Black Angels into a tightly wound unit, and those years of work are all on showcase here. The band are celebrating the release with more years of touring.
