BLACK POETS // album OUT NOW on iTunes!

About Me


**** THE SKINNY: "To all the bands out there who currently sound like Pavement: you could be in trouble. Suddenly the angular guitar, slightly gothic atmosphere, and doom and gloom seem prophetic, not retro".
[Sic]MAGAZINE: "‘Naivety’ is elevated by a cracking riff and a surging instrumental coda and ‘Paris 1932′ coaxes a decent falsetto from LeCain. The title track is also rather fine; once again the song is encircled in an escalating melody and the sense of urgency about it is nailed to perfection. Kudos too for the final song ‘Irene’, where Black Poets manage to convey yearning and longing within a relatively intricate framework."
ROCK LINKS: "The album is full of music - not just sounds with words over them; and they have a refreshing approach to the layout of some of their songs."
POP JUNKIE: "Black Poets really have hit the nail on the head with their haunting angered stage performance."
TOURDATES: "Black Poets adorn their sound with an authentic, well made sheen that belies the mp3 generation they find themselves in."
