[The Black Angels] opened [the Bowery Ballroom show] with “You On The Run,” a head bobbing shoegazy track filled with Velvet Underground-esque drone replete with tambourines and fuzzy guitars… The Angels pulled songs equally from all three albums, slightly favoring their first, Passover…The band hit a stride with the last three tracks before the closer: “Young Men Dead,” “The First Vietnamese War,” and “Better Off Alone”–all from their first album. Black Mountain‘s Stephen McBean played acoustic on the last song of the set appropriately dubbed “Entrance Song”–A melodic trip with purposely-wobbly vocals and heart-thumping drumbeat. -[Death + Taxes]

Black Mountain and the Black Angels are still on tour, but completed their two-show NYC run last night, 11/4, at Music Hall of Williamsburg (where Angels headlined). The pictures in this post, from the Bowery Ballroom show the night before (where Mountains headlined), continue (with the Angels’ setlist) below…
