{"product_id":"local-angel","title":"Local Angel","description":"Whenever Brant Bjork releases a new album as a solo artist or as a member of a band, it's a crapshoot as to what musical style will be included in its grooves. Will it be Santana-like funk jams (the great Jalamanta), stoner\/desert rock (Kyuss' classic Blues for the Red Sun), or vicious gutter punk (Mondo Generator's A Drug Problem That Never Existed)? On his 2004 solo outing, Local Angel, Bjork throws another wild card onto the table, as the album is a mellow, bare-bones affair. And while the music is laid-back, the music is unmistakably Brant Bjork -- especially evident in his trademark jive-talkin' lyrics. While a few songs may have benefited from more volume and a beefed-up backing band (such as \"Bliss Ave\"), Bjork's deconstructed approach is showcased on such standouts as \"Beautiful Powers\" and \"Hippie,\" while he gets to indulge his longtime Jimi Hendrix fetish, with a cover of \"Hey Joe.\" More than ever, Local Angel proves that Bjork is a modern-day David Bowie of sorts -- he's constantly shifting gears. Don't be surprised if his next album contains a string orchestra. ~ Greg Prato","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42060489130149,"sku":"750958590749","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/products\/7850e2e94934ca3ef319325c9e58dc33_dc8e41b8-dbd8-4dfb-826c-6f2edcb1249b.jpg?v=1678267912","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/local-angel","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
