Black Angel Drifter is the seventh studio album by the Urban Country duo Morten Valence, featuring the talented Anne Gilpin and Robert “Hacker” Jessett. This album, originally conceived as an experimental project in 2016, has been remastered to deliver an authentic listening experience.
The album boasts ten unique tracks, including the electrifying opener Skylines Change / Genders Blur, a fusion of influences reminiscent of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Ennio Morricone. Tracks like Black-Eyed Susan and Sister Pain showcase their bluesy roots, while divine love ballads such as The Visit and Hymn Four add emotional depth. Notably, they breathe new life into Bob Dylan’s classic The Man with the Long Black Coat.
With a sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional alt country, Black Angel Drifter is set to establish Morten Valence as a fresh voice in the genre and is among the best indie music albums of 2021.
