As we inch toward the middle of the year, I’m highlighting some of 2024’s best music. Drahla’s second full-length album is a top pick.
I’m a sucker for saxophone blasting during a high-energy punk rock song.
When I think of how the horns boosted bands from X-Ray Spex to Downtown Boys, I long for more to do the same.
Maybe that’s one of the reasons Angeltape, the sophomore album by U.K. band Drahla, is a top pick for me.
Along with Luciel Brown’s dispassionate vocals backed by a full-throttled chaotic energy, there’s a lot to like about Angeltape.
