Myth of a Man

Fronted by Texan native Danny Lee Backwell, 'Myth of a Man' is an album that holds its own next to the classics, less of the bloodshot acid trip of 'Sonic Bloom' and 'Who Sold My Generation' here, Blackwell has recalibrated them, slowed them down just enough and allowed them the space to breathe and exist as something new. It's the same book, just a different chapter. Written during a particularly destructive period of the band, the album is populated by fallen angels, blood-sucking wanderers, and vindictive lovers - sketches of people the band has surely come across during their cosmic roving through the underground. 'Myth of a Man can be summed up as a personal display of vulnerability and guilty conscience', says Blackwell.
