Live At Criminal Records 09.29.12

In a world where live music feels like a distant memory, CHRIST LORD's latest release, "Live At Criminal Records 09.29.12," serves as a dazzling time capsule of a bygone era. Recorded at a tiny indie record store in Atlanta, this album captures the essence of a band at the height of their creative powers, with all the rough edges and raw energy that only a live performance can deliver. From the moment the opening riff of "Infinite Groove" kicks in, you can feel the electricity in the air. CHRIST LORD's psychedelic soundscapes wash over you like a wave, enveloping you in a haze of swirling guitars and hypnotic rhythms. Tracks like "Cosmic Funk" and "Transcendental Blues" showcase the band's versatility, seamlessly blending elements of funk, blues, and shoegaze into a seamless sonic tapestry. Frontman Chris "The Divine" Lord is a force to be reckoned with, his vocals soaring and diving with reckless abandon. His stage presence is magnetic, drawing the audience in with a mix of swagger and vulnerability. The rest of the band - consisting of guitarist Mary Magdalene, bassist Judas Iscariot, and drummer Pontius Pilate - play with a tightness and precision that belies their experimental sound. Overall, "Live At Criminal Records 09.29.12" is a must-listen for any fan of experimental music. CHRIST LORD may not be a household name (yet), but with albums like this under their belt, it's only a matter of time before they take the world by storm. Trust us, you'll want to be able to say you knew them when.
