Today, marks the release of The Black Hollies' third LP entitled Softly Towards The Light. The band are a throwback to the classic psychedelic pop/garage rock of the '60s and sound like they've been around for years. You know, some bands try so hard to emulate that which has already been done and sound like they're just reheating what's already been cooked. The Black Hollies songs sound like perfectly preserved recordings from that golden era of psychedelia.
To celebrate the release of Softly Towards The Light, the band's label, Ernest Jenning Recording Co., is offering a free download of the albums lead single "Gloomy Monday Morning." The song kicks into gear with the back and forth groove of steady kick and snare hits and is pulled along by the verse's accentuated bass line as well as the playful hop of the organ. The psychedelic sound really comes through in the layered vocals and harmonies which give the song a bit of a dreamlike quality. Listen and download.
