内容紹介
Marah's sixth album, ANGELS OF DESTRUCTION!, finds the kids from Philly in a brave new world: new sobriety, new members and of course, new songs. Culled from a Niagara-like output of songs over the past year, ANGELS OF DESTRUCTION! Is, as David Bielanko puts it "the tip of the iceberg and the bottom of the well". Musically, AOD! Is Marah doing what Marah does. The album swings with abandon and rocks with greasy soul, all the while paying it's respects to the guy-and-a-guitar simplicity that lives at the heart of every rock n roll song. The title track is a propulsive chilled out rocker that hints at the larger themes of the album: religion, redemption, destruction and joy. Much like this song and Marah as a whole, AOD! Is a Phoenix rising from the ashes. It is jumbo jet slamming to earth in a contorted heap. It is everything and nothing at once. It is rock 'n' roll.

If Marah were ever to rewrite its resume, it should begin with three words: "soul," "chaos," and, most notably, "reinvention." Led by ex-Philadelphia siblings Dave and Serge Bielanko, the band has never shied away from tinkering with either its sound or lineup. While the results arent always a hit (see 2002s debacle Float Away with the Friday Night Gods), Marah manages to stay buckled into the rock & roll drivers seat--these days riding the restive streets of Brooklyn--on album number six, which features habitual rockers like "Coughing Up Blood" and the playful title track. On board now is the first female, keyboardist Christine Smith. As much a constituent as a guest, Smith adds subtle layers of piano to the formidable "Wild West Love Song" and the bluesy, Zeppelin-like "Jesus in the Temple." But even more newsworthy, her jazzy stylings have rubbed off on the Bielankos. Check out "Santos De Madera," a breezy pop song, the ballad "Blue But Cool," and the 10-minute "Wilderness," Marahs very own "Day In The Life." --Scott Holter
