Earlier, we informed you about the stream of the new Okkervil River album, and failed to note another album stream that NPR has thrown up. Though not as high profile as Will Sheff and the gang, Liturgy’s Aesthethica may turn out to be more important in the long run. The New York rockers will find naysayers no matter what classification we throw on them, including the most popular label of “black metal,” but the truth is that Aesthethica is a strangely moving piece of adrenaline-soaked rock. And, how often does NPR stream something that would even fall near the metal ballpark?
Check out Liturgy’s Aesthethica here and buy the album on May 10th.
