Illusion Fields Of Saints and Streetpunx Dirge for the Deluge Straight up outta New Orleans. This album...oh, this album is so beautiful. I finally picked it up at Louisiana Music Factory last week and spent the next couple hours buried in headphones emitting audial textures so lush, so powerful...I can only compare it to some kind of sonic chiaroscuro. It's the closest I've been to Church in a long, long time.
