***Dark folk expanded into psychedelic atmospheres may be the most direct way of explaining the sound of JUDAS HORSE. Holy War is the sophomore release from this North Carolina trio. Using hand-sculpted musical textures under a male/female dual vocal approach, Holy War creates an original dynamic that takes the listener through valleys of musical expansion. The very real roots of Southern Gothic and psychedelic aesthetics are reflected, transformed and transcended. It's no surprise that some of these players were later recruited into the heavy blues/ rock group U.S. CHRISTMAS as well as the heavy doom project ENOCH. Holy War is a direct path to honest music from big-hearted musicians. This is a great experience for music fans seeking the road less traveled. For fans of Dirty Three, Yo La Tengo, Mogwai, Leonard Cohen, Swans. Edition of 500 copies.
LP $17.75
