Private Angus

Private Angus 2nd album "Holmby Hills" got out February 8 and it..s a huge sucess. According to their producer "the best album recorded in Music á matic in over 10 years.The Gothenburg based band Private Angus released a new album February 8. With 2 new band members there is a sound and performance which have fallen into the right pocket. The music is a bit punchier, with more guitars and not as neat as on the 2006 debut album. The lyrics have a smell of Bon Scott/Bloodhound gang attitude and the music sounds both retro and fresh at the same time - as if Mando Diao meets Beatles in a way.The album consists of 11 new songs recorded in Music à matic Studios and produced by Private Angus together with Mikael Nilsson and Henryk Lipp, known for his work with, Union Carbide, Thåström, Millencollin and many others. The debut album was released by Plugged Records while the new album is released on the bands own label Infinite Music but distributed by Plugged, who have started distribution services effective fron January 1. The band will sell t-shirts, posters, pins etc on the official home page at www.privateangus.com. You are also welcome to visit Private Angus at www.myspace.com/privateangus. Here's a review from the swedish magazine groove (for our swedish listeners)PRIVATE ANGUS Holmby Hills INFINITE/PLUGGED Starkt gitarrdriven och musklig rakrock med smarta texter är något dessa göteborgare excellerar i. Det ligger något ursprungligt över deras riffglada rock som med sina träffsäkra refränger ändå gränsar till popsmartness. Vilket bör innebära kommersiell framgång. Det tyder också den Kent-infl uerade albumtiteln på. Det mest framträdande hos Holmby Hills är ändå helheten, nån direkt hitlåt utkristalliseras inte, och detta ser jag som en styrka. Produktionen är komprimerad utan att vara lufttät, bandet framstår som oförskämt välmående och livfullt – på gränsen till felfritt. Och det får mig misstänksam. Jag finner mig själv letandes efter skavanker eller svagheter i pansaret, men hittar inga. Private Angus känns så fräscha som en relativt ny rockorkester ska göra. Det kan räcka långt.
