Now Spinning: The Black Angels - Phosphene Dream

Our president then was dead to us. Hallelujah!

He takes his pills so he can kill. Praise the bible.

I need no pills to kill. Hallelujah!

I need no pills to kill. Raise the rifle.

This album showed up on my doorstep yesterday, courtesy of my internship that I did with their management company over the summertime. As I’ve said, it’s one of my favorites of 2010…and the packaging of this album (like their prior two as well) is definitely a large part of the experience. The album cover at this size is fully messing with my brain more than ever before. One of the most beautiful pieces I own for sure, I recall that when we opened the box when they got the first test pressings we were all blown away. Finally listening to the vinyl now, I was pleasantly surprised at some bonus material not listed that was not on the digital release. That, combined with the already amazing record + packaging makes this a highly recommended vinyl purchase.

Bonus - I’ll give the first person to reply here the code for the digital download that came with it, since I’ve obviously already got it.
