Synopsis

Product Description

With their new record, the New Jersey quartet continue the progression of a band from live powerhouse to expert song-crafters, blending a seductive combination of soul, British blues and a dose of garage rock. Recording outside of their own studio for the first time, the band chose the confines of Hoboken's Pigeon Club for its allegiance to warm tones and a wealth of classic keyboards. There are plenty of surprises on the album as band leader Justin Angelo Morey tackles a wealth of new pop structures amd usual guitarist Jon Gonnelli moves to the electric organ for most of the recording. That leaves room for Herbet Wiley's fuzzed out guitar heriocs, while drummer Nick Ferrante puts his live drumming theatrics on record with the band for the first time since joining in early 2008. From start to finish Softly Towards The Light brims with tight hooks and clever lyrics, another solid step forward in The Black Hollies continued evolution.

CD Reviews

Dynamic, infectious mix of psychedelic rock and pop

RadioNDN | Midwestern USA | 10/15/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"On the followup to their stellar record, Casting Shadows, New Jersey band the Black Hollies slow the tempo down a bit and offer up more psychedelic pop than psychedelic rock this time, but the results are generally as good. The production once again sounds like the record was made in the 60's, though, as with Casting Shadows, the tracks are all Black Hollies originals. I do favor their faster numbers, tracks like "Run With Me Run," "Gloomy Monday Morning" and "Look What You've Done," but they also score with slower songs like the closer "Don't Be Afraid To Ask." The music is a dynamic, infectious mix of psychedelic rock and pop, garage rock and a little bit of soul. This is a solid third release for the Black Hollies that demonstrates their versatility while expanding their rock and pop horizons. Hopefully, this record will earn them the wider audience they deserve."
