Unite Africaine [LP] [VINYL]

BIG THIEF / DRAGON NEW WARM MOUNTAIN I BELIEVE IN YOU - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You is a sprawling double-LP exploring the deepest elements and possibilities of Big Thief. To truly dig into all that the music of Adrianne Lenker, Max Oleartchick, Buck Meek, and James Krivchenia desired in 2020, the band decided to write and record a rambling account of growth as individuals, musicians, and chosen family over 4 distinct recording sessions.

Gary Clark, Jr. has been hailed by a number of critics as Inchthe New Hendrix,Inch which seems to be the fate of any guitarist who combines blues and rock styles at a considerable volume (particularly if they cover InchThird Stone from the SunInch). While that's a blurb that may look good in Clark's press kit, it rather misses the point; Clark isn't a visionary, game-changing artist like Hendrix, but instead he's a canny singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist who has learned from the past and present, fusing them into a style that's distinctive and exciting if not necessarily revolutionary. Warner Bros. Is also pitching Blak and Blu as Clark's Inchgroundbreaking debut album,Inch when in fact it's just his major-tag debut, with four indie releases preceding it, making the confidence and ambition of this set a bit less remarkable.

On Blak and Blu, most of Clark's tunes are solidly rooted in the blues, but he's also folded in hearty servings of hard rock, funk, retro-soul, and even a dash of hip-hop, and the way he let's the flavors mix is a big part of what makes this album work so well. There's an undertow of Northern Soul on the dance-friendly opener InchAin't Messin' Round,Inch InchTravis CountyInch is a no-frills rocker that recalls the Stones in fifth gear, InchThe LifeInch finds Clark moving back and forth between singing and rapping in a streetwise tale of drug addiction, InchNumbInch recalls the punk blues attack of the Black Keys and the White Stripes in it's fuzzed-out blast, and the title cut samples both Gil Scott-Heron and Albert King as Clark melds conscious themes with blues backdrops. While the typical modern-day guitar hero
