A cool first review of Alex Emanuel’s pandemic album “Better Light” from Boog City:
“Better Light is, at its heart, a shot of defiance in the face of all the crazy we have found ourselves confronting over the past few years. Emanuel is clearly a guy who attended Rock and Roll High School, and he learned his lessons well. Emanuel has put together a sonic stew, the heart of which is driven by a reverb drenched ’65 Guild Polara laying down fuzzed out lyrical riffs that bring to mind bands like Teenage Fanclub, Luna, and Sebadoh. The rhythms underneath consistently propel the songs forward, and the bass and drum tracks are mixed in a manner reminiscent of the post-punk sonics of bands like Wire and The Jesus and Mary Chain.”
“Better Light” is available on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Bandcamp and elsewhere now!
