All Souls Announce Southwestern Shows with Ape Machine
I’m going to tell you something that I probably shouldn’t. The third All Souls record is finished. Done. The mastered files are sitting on my desktop where they’ve been since the Los Angeles-based outfit very generously sent them to me so I could hear the record. And I have lived with it since then. It’s their best work to-date, and their collaboration with producer Alain Johannes has brought not only his own guest spots on various tracks — which certainly isn’t going to hurt the material, ever — but a new level of execution from the band itself. They’re sorting out label stuff — I think? — but I can run off a list of imprints half a mile long that would be lucky to have them. I’m a fan, and I’ve been preaching as hard as I can since their first LP — you might say I posted about them frickin’ yesterday; hey, I like writing about bands I like — but there’s no time like the present to get on board, because if you think you’re too late or you missed it, you didn’t. The best is yet to come.
The fact that they’re releasing their live split with Fatso Jetson — which is what that post from earlier this week was about — through Ripple Music and that this tour with Portland, Oregon’s Ape Machine includes the stop at RippleFest Texas makes me hopeful that the label will pick up the album and work toward giving it and the band their rather significant due, but I have no insider info to share, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t talk about it anyway. There’s only so much trouble I’m willing to get in.
Consider yourself lucky if you get to see this band live. I do.
