{"product_id":"mays-matt-when-the-angels-make-contact-cd","title":"Mays Matt - WHEN THE ANGELS MAKE CONTACT - [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatt Mays's third CD, When the Angels Make Contact is a decidedly different journey than his previous efforts, a largely hushed, even-keeled effort that floats from track to track. The disc is a Mays solo undertaking (temporarily separating from his El Torpedo bandmates) and as a result, the music is a little less Crazy Horse and considerably more sonically experimental than his fans might expect. Angels is a soundtrack to the singer's own unreleased film--its dirgy, earthy style and production are apparent straight away. During a handful of the disc's 18 tracks, Mays takes a number of chances, from the mid-song rap (courtesy of indie-experimentalist Buck 65) in \"Angels\" to the understated simplicity of \"Heroine,\" a lyric-repeating mantra of a tune that is gorgeous in its minimalism. Additionally, \"Under My Senses,\" a downtempo cut that features standout vocals not from Mays, but from fellow East Coast Canuck Kristen Hatt, adds a significant twist. In the end, the result is a album that is two-thirds whisper-soft with sudden extreme shifts into blistering rock--the highlight of which is the roaring Floyd-meets-Sabbath-sounding \"Commando.\" That unexpected number smashes the subtlety of the disc's first half and brings forth a beautiful aggression that rates as one of Mays's finest moments on record. With all the chances it takes, When the Angels Make Contact is both a bumpy ride and a stellar, brave adventure. --Denise SheppardProduct DescriptionMatt Mays\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock\/Alternative\/Metal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47618872770778,"sku":"775020760226","price":10.77,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/WHENTHEANGELSMAKECONTACT_ef9swh.jpg?v=1771690288","url":"https:\/\/shopmusic247.com\/products\/mays-matt-when-the-angels-make-contact-cd","provider":"Shopmusic247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
