Angels of Light, the – “New Mother ” – [Young God Records/Sky]

Swan’s songs sung, Body Lovers and Haters
ensuing, and now this M. Gira’s latest
project, the damned divine Angels of Light.
A paradoxically distrubed peacefulness
permeates this album. Jaded beauty, both
in Gira’s pensive vox and in the sonic
combinations of electronics and acoustic
instruments. Shadowy sounds. Ballads that
sound like they were composed by the
smartest prisoner on the cell block.
