Ernest Jenning Record Co. is proud to announce the release of The Black
Hollies third full-length album, Softly Towards The Light, due on
October 6th. In conjunction with the album release the band is excited
to be hitting the road this fall, starting in September with Benjy
Ferree, and with more dates still TBA
With their new record, the New Jersey quartet continue the progression
of a band from live powerhouse to expert song-crafters, blending a
seductive combination of soul, British blues, and a dose of garage
rock. The catalyst for their latest album came when front man Justin
Angelo Morey heard the song "If It's All The Same To you Babe" by the
Luther Ingram Orchestra which led him down a road towards a deeper
rooted soul feel and more introspective emotions. Recording outside of
their own studio for the first time, the band chose the confines of
Hoboken's Pigeon Club for its allegiance to warm tones and wealth of
classic keyboards. Usual guitarist Jon Gonnelli moved to the electric
organ for most of the recording, leaving room for Herbert Wiley's
fuzzed out guitar heroics, while drummer Nick Ferrante put his live
drumming theatrics on record with the band for the first time since
joining in early 2008
With Softly Towards The Light, The Black Hollies expand upon a sound
that Rolling Stone described as "guitar heroics and psychedelia that
would bring a smile to Brian Jones' face". The album kicks off with the
energetic opener "Run With Me Run" and instantly drops into the
floor-shaking stomp of "Gloomy Monday Morning" constructing walls of
organ and cymbals that ride upon a bouncing bass line. "Lead Me To Your
Fire" drives with blistering guitar solos that build to an energetic
fever pitch, and on "How Did We Get Here" and "Everything's Fine" the
Hollies display a newfound versatility, slowing things down with
breathy vocals and backup harmonies that drift over shimmering guitar
and keys
From start to finish Softly Towards The Light brims with pop hooks and
clever lyrics, another solid step forward in The Black Hollies
continued evolution that looks to build upon the accomplishments of
their past releases - Crimson Reflections (2006) and Casting Shadows
(2008)
