ARTIST / BAND: VAGUE ANGELS
SONG (MP3): THE VAGUE ANGELS OF VAGARY
ALBUM: Let's Duke It Out At Kilkenny Katz'
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Experimental / Indie
LABEL: http://www.prettyactivity.com/
INFO: "Vague Angels create harmonically rich, droning textures that basically serve as a backdrop for the vocals, which are the main focus. The lyrics feature a lot of pretty heady stuff, as well as more immediate, vivid poetic images. Chris Leo has the ability to take an everyday or mundane lyric (like "The dust covered everything") and imbue it with a feeling of deep significance, to great effect. I believe that Chris Leo and the Vague Angels often receive comparisons to Lou Reed. I see some lyrical affinity, but what really comes to my mind for conveying what they're doing is Serge Gainsbourg's "Bonnie and Clyde" - a kind of lush, repeating harmonic texture with more or less spoken lyrics and only the suggestion of a verse/chorus/bridge structure." –
