The Black Angels hypnotise

The Black Angels have never hidden their influences. Named after a Velvet Underground song, they even namecheck the band’s members ⁠— alongside other guiding voices like Syd Barrett and Arthur Lee — on The River. A gentle ’60s folk acid trip, it’s one of 11 tracks from latest album Wilderness Of Mirrors performed during a mesmerising show that celebrates both their own legacy and those pioneers of psychedelia who made their career possible.
