Yr 33 Black Angels press blurbs –
Limited-Edition Pleasure
This spring, the New York band Your 33 Black Angels quietly released one of this year’s treasures: Lonely Street (no label), in a numbered vinyl-only edition of 250 (I’ve got number nineteen). The LP is worth the hunt for its pop-wise rattle (Pavement with a case of the Strokes) and singer Josh Westfal’s resemblance, in dry, frank voice and cautious optimism, to another local institution: Lou Reed on the Velvet Underground’s fourth album, Loaded. By David Fricke – Rolling Stone.

A few things you should know about Your 33 Black Angels: (1) They hail from Brooklyn; don’t confuse ’em with Austin’s Black Angels. (2) They are nominally “indie rock,” but with a twist, because, for every quirky Pavement-y twist or lo-fi GBV-ism, there’s a corresponding Velvet Underground choogle and burst of Yo La Tengo luminosity—in fact, songwriter Josh Westfal’s fragile-but-friendly vocals recall YLT’s Ira Kaplan’s. (3) From strummy/twangy “This Is the Road…” and gangly power-popper “Once I Dreamed the Future” to the twisted, Ween-like funk of “Sue” and the outrageous geek anthemry of “Psycho on Your Side” there’s not a wasted—or repeated—move here. (4) Y33BA initially released Lonely Street last spring in a ridiculously limited vinyl edition of 250; only much later did they think to have CDs manufactured to meet the growing demand. (5) Lonely Street was the only 2007 release for which HARP personally called up the band and pleaded for a review copy—such was the street buzz on it. Guess what? That buzz was dead-on.
