Newly minted Austin staples Night Beats, and brand new super group The UFO Club are droppin’ a 10″ split on us via The Reverberation Appreciation Society.  The UFO Club are comprised of the Black Angels’ genius guitar slayer, Christian Bland, and the ambient howler behind Night Beats, Lee Blackwell.  Their four tracks carry a vintage sway, lasting just over 10 minutes.  The opener, My Love is Waiting, hops along with 12-string leads and Blackwell’s raspy voice urging us along before we’re taken to another planet by a tremolo’d aural assault of guitars.  Wanna hear something rad as hell?  They cover the Ronettes classic, Be My Baby. Yea.  Totally into these tracks they’ve dished out for us.  Next, Night Beats come on with their groovy, sloppy, psychedelia.  Night Beats killed it with their H-Bomb EP last year, and I’ve eagerly been awaiting another release from them.  Things start off a little slow with the quick, dragging hit, A Night With Nefertiti, but they pick it right up with their next track, Hex.  Rolling Stones-esque killer guitar licks, vicious guitar solos, and the ever intriguing vocal melodies of Lee Blackwell.  Everything I love about Night Beats.  He very well may have one of the coolest voices in the scene right now, and tracks like this one highlight his talent.  Something new to see from Night Beats is the acoustic track, 18 Glowing Phantoms.  This one’s a knee-slapping, bluesy ditty, carried by the moaning storytelling of Blackwell, which explodes back into the expected Night Beats jam for the last minute or so.  A new view of the Night Beats, and a great one at that.  Look for this on The Reverberation Appreciation Society.
