The Black Angels share unreleased demo for
“Half Believing”
The band will return to the UK for more live shows in August
Austin psych-rock standard-bearers The Black Angels have shared an unreleased demo version of “Half Believing,” the brooding centrepiece of their new album ‘Death Song’ (out now via Partisan). Listen below.
‘Death Song’ – their first LP in 4+ years – is by far the heaviest and most politically-charged music they’ve ever put to record. It’s also earned some of the best reviews of their career, few highlights below.
Watch the band perform “Half Believing” on Austin City Limitts
