Light In The Attic (LITA) is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington. Established in 2002 by two music enthusiasts, LITA began as a concert productions company before venturing into reissuing lost classics with modern packaging and production. With a passion for preserving and celebrating music history, LITA has become a respected authority in the industry.
Since its inception, LITA has been dedicated to unearthing forgotten gems and giving them new life.

Taking their name from the classic tune "The Black Angel's Death Song," The Black Angels are a heavy-duty psychedelic rock band hailing from Austin, Texas. Influenced by the likes of The Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators, and early Rolling Stones, their music is characterized by a primitive beat and an echoing spirit of the past. With genres ranging from Psychedelic Rock to Neo-Psychedelia and Garage Rock, The Black Angels bring a unique sound to the music scene.

Name yourselves after one of the Velvet Underground's most aggressively amelodic songs and package your second album in an op art burnt orange and chartreuse freakout and you'd better be able to deliver the psych-drone goods. What's most impressive about the Black Angels' Directions to See a Ghost is that not only does the Austin-based sextet deliver like few bands have been able to manage since Spacemen 3 split - see the dark, doomy "Science Killer" and the epic 16-minute closer "Snake in the Grass" for details - but the group also leavens its heaviness with a functioning knowledge of pop hooks and how to deploy them: as a result, songs like "You in Color" and "You on the Run" not only buzz and howl in a manner suitable for nodding along, they're also unexpectedly catchy in a style reminiscent of Love or the Doors. The sitar-laced two-chord stomp of "Never/Ever" sits comfortably alongside the post-punky desperation of "Doves," testament to the variety of sounds and moods the Black Angels squeeze out of their chosen idiom. This is the sort of psychedelia that space rockers and Nuggets fans alike can come together over.
