Angel - (2016) 2017 LP

 

 Faro – FARO-01 

It has been a while since we last heard from Adam Stonehouse, the genius behind The Hospitals - one of my favorite bands of the last decade or so. Adam is back with Angel. Synthed-out rock & roll with both pop and experimental sides to it, Angel is the logical (well, as much as Stonehouse and logic go together) next step from The Hospitals - but keep in mind we are talking an 8 year step from Hairdryer Peace to now, so do not expect the fantastic chaos of Hairdryer Peace. Angel is a different kind of weird, one rooted in T-Rex, Throbbing Gristle's Jazz-Funk Greats, Tangerine Dream's Sorcerer, dub, David Essex's Rock On, Bobby Brown, Negativeland, and Suicide's second album. Pretty fantastic.
