I’d be lying to you if the title of this song alone didn’t provoke me to hit play. Aside from the quaintly wonderful band name, calling your song “She’s A Fucking Angel (From Fucking Heaven)” pretty much leaves no doubt as to how you feel about a girl -- and, no, surprise this was written right after a phone call drummer Chris Brokaw had with his fiancé. You can dress the lyrics up in as much metaphorical mystery as you want to, but, ultimately, this title is a bull’s-eye of honesty. And how fitting, then, that the actual song itself sounds like the heartfelt, no B.S. indie rock that most discovered in high school or college to hang all their emotions on. As if that didn’t all make things feel full circle, The Martha’s Vineyard Ferries has quite the indie rock pedigree: Elisha Wiesner (Kahoots) on guitar, Bob Weston (Shellac, Volcano Suns, Mission of Burma) on bass guitar, and Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine, The New Year) on drums. Rad.
“She’s A Fucking Angel (From Fucking Heaven)” is from The Martha’s Vineyard Ferries’ new album, Mass. Grave, out October 15th on Kiam Records. Pre-order the record digitally / on vinyl / on CD.
