Bjork, Brant
Local Angel
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2018 Repressing, Imported From Europe. "Whenever Brant Bjork Releases A New Album As A Solo Artist Or As A Member Of A Band, It's A Crapshoot As To What Musical Style Will Be Included In Its Grooves. Will It Be Santana-like Funk Jams (The Great Jalamanta), Stoner/desert Rock (Kyuss' Classic Blues For The Red Sun), Or Vicious Gutter Punk (Mondo Generator's A Drug Problem That Never Existed)? On His 2004 Solo Outing, Local Angel, Bjork Throws Another Wild Card Onto The Table, As The Album Is A Mellow, Bare-bones Affair. And While The Music Is Laid-back, The Music Is Unmistakably Brant Bjork -- Especially Evident In His Trademark Jive-talkin' Lyrics. While A Few Songs May Have Benefited From More Volume And A Beefed-up Backing Band (Such As "Bliss Ave"), Bjork's Deconstructed Approach Is Showcased On Such Standouts As "Beautiful Powers" And "Hippie," While He Gets To Indulge His Longtime Jimi Hendrix Fetish, With A Cover Of "Hey Joe." More Than Ever, Local Angel Proves That Bjork Is A Modern-day David Bowie Of Sorts -- He's Constantly Shifting Gears. Don't Be Surprised If His Next Album Contains A String Orchestra."
