Angel & The Love Mongers - The Humanist Queen
Reviewed by blake
Angel & The Love Mongers sound British, but they’re not; they’re from Knoxville, TN. The Humanist Queen is a very consistent if not terribly exciting collection of pop-rockers in which The Cure influence is worn on the proverbial sleeve. One might get the impression these are a couple of guys playing “band,” but that doesn’t mean there isn’t fun to be had. And really, The Humanist Queen is a downbeat yet fun album. This oxymoron may be possible because it’s difficult to take some of the posturing too seriously. [www.myspace.com]
