The Black Angels are an American psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas, known for their heavily layered sound and philosophical lyrics. Composed of notable members Alex Maas, Christian Bland, Stephanie Bailey, and Kyle Hunt, the band emerged in 2004 and is named after a Velvet Underground song. Their music, echoing the sounds of 1960s psychedelic rock with a modern twist, has been influential in the neo-psychedelia scene. Among their most recognized works is the album "Directions to See a Ghost" (2008), which showcases their signature drone-infused rock style.
