Ever had a memory hit you out of nowhere?
Just a short while ago I was listening to some choons, and one of the suggestions made by my mediaserver software (emby) was The Jesus & Mary Chain... which led me down memory lane and the bands my late brother introduced me too.
#BalaamAndTheAngel were one of those bands. This was one of the first songs I heard.
A few years later, I got to see them support #TheCult and they were great. My brother never got to see them live.
Balaam And The Angel - Sun Family (1985)
Three brothers from the Midlands...
This has a lovely hippy-goth vibe going on and, in my humble opinion, is their best. Some great tracks here; Love Me, World Of Light, Thought Behind It All.
It is finally available on Spotify with loads of extra tracks that were not on the original vinyl!
