WIFE
“Heart is a Far Light”
What’s Between (out 06.10 on Tri Angle)
If first single, “Heart is a Far Light,” is any indication, the Altar of Plagues frontman’s debut LP for Tri Angle is set to be one of the most bewitching, atmospheric of the year. Based around a taut guitar part and James Kelly’s hypnotic, layered voices, the track beautifully unravels to a piece much larger than the sum of its spare, minimalistic parts. The Irishman’s vulnerable vocals disarm the listener, giving the track a decidedly “private conversation” vibe. Altar of Plagues has always been best enjoyed in the full album format, so one would expect WIFE will be the same. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.
