Synopsis
Product Description
After clearing the vaults with their previous album, Song Cyclops Volume Two, Doleful Lions return with a new lineup, direction, and wisdom. Their new album 7 represents the next step in the evolution of Doleful Lions, marrying their keen, classic pop sensibilities with an adventurous new sound. The usual folksy guitar strummings of their previous releases have been replaced with an eclectic mix of electronics, epic song structures and a focused lyrical intensity. Instead of striving for uniformity, 7 allows the Lions to give each song its own unique sound. Magic Without Tears plays like an Aleister Crowley fronted New Order. Don t Ever Hide Your Enchantment is a fuzzed-out Michael Jackson track. Winfield Walker is champagne jam featuring a coked-out Giorgio Moroder producing the Flaming Lips. These pop masterpieces sit next to moody instrumentals like Screams in the House of the Deranged and mid-tempo burners like Hazlehurst. After the limited palettes of their previous albums, Doleful Lions have used 7 to explore new sonic horizons.
Lyrically, much has changed in Jonathan s worldview, but like the Voltron head, he s still always on point. Having abandoned the monster movie motifs of The Rats are Coming! The Werewolves are Here! and the traditional spirituality of Out Like a Lamb, the Lions have embraced the occult as defined by the teachings of Theosophy and Freemasonry. The Luminous Sons of the Manvantaric Dawn describes the origins of the universe as taught in Stanzas of Dzyan, an ancient tome popularized by H.P. Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine. Here Come the Star Nations expresses a true desire for the long-awaited harmonic convergence promised by humanity s first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence.
7 is a truly adventurous album in all regards; an album that has ventured further beyond any music created by the Doleful Lions in the past. It is their spiritual manifesto demanding a world filled with love for one another and the acceptance of all religions as the one true religion. It is a message that is needed now more than ever.
