Beginning their 90 min set with 'Vikings/I Hear Colors (Chromaesthesia)'; somewhat inexplicably their third song was 'Don’t Play with Guns', which is currently receiving heavy local radio rotation. Shortly after which, a handful of people were out the doors-their mistake, as it had just started to get good.
'Indigo Meadow', the title track that intros the new album was under layered with a floating keyboard riff, then the intensity and volume turned back up for newer songs like 'Twisted Light' and 'The Day'. Elephant Stone’s Rishi Dhir joined the band at encore for a rousing finish- distortion, fuzz, guitars, and sitar blazing in a wall of sound on the last song of the evening, 'True Believers' that begged the question to perhaps add sitars permanently to the Black Angels sound.
This was an Austin, TX band of few words, as they didn't say much between songs, but instead chose to turn up to eleven, add vertigo-inducing graphics, and let the experience of the performance do the talking…and not just because it was 4/20.
