About This Item
Fronted by Texan native Danny Lee Backwell, Myth Of A Man is an album that holds it's own next to the classics, less of the bloodshot acid trip of Sonic Bloom (2013) and Who Sold My Generation (2016) here, Blackwell has recalibrated them, slowed them down just enough and allowed them the space to breathe and exist as something new. It's the same book, just a different chapter. Written during a particularly destructive period of Night Beats, the album is populated by fallen angels, blood-sucking wanderers, and vindictive lovers - sketches of people the band has surely come across during their cosmic roving through the underground - but the character most present is Blackwell, himself. InchMyth Of A Man can be summed up as a personal display of vulnerability and guilty conscience,Inch he explains, InchDestroying the mythos of what it means to live and function in society.Inch With it's bold steps forward, Myth Of A Man serves as both a takedown and reintroduction of the band as we know it - the strongest evidence that you'll never be able to pin Night Beats down.
