The disc is a Mays solo undertaking (temporarily separating from his El Torpedo bandmates) and as a result, the music is a little less Crazy Horse and considerably more sonically experimental than his fans might expect. Angels is a soundtrack to the singer's own unreleased film--its dirgy, earthy style and production are apparent straight away. During a handful of the disc's 18 tracks, Mays takes a number of chances, from the mid-song rap (courtesy of indie-experimentalist Buck 65) in \"Angels\" to the understated simplicity of \"Heroine,\" a lyric-repeating mantra of a tune that is gorgeous in its minimalism. Additionally, \"Under My Senses,\" a downtempo cut that features standout vocals not from Mays, but from fellow East Coast Canuck Kristen Hatt, adds a significant twist. In the end, the result is a album that is two-thirds whisper-soft with sudden extreme shifts into blistering rock--the highlight of which is the roaring Floyd-meets-Sabbath-sounding \"Commando.\" That unexpected number smashes the subtlety of the disc's first half and brings forth a beautiful aggression that rates as one of Mays's finest moments on record. With all the chances it takes, When the Angels Make Contact is both a bumpy ride and a stellar, brave adventure. --Denise Sheppard\n\nProduct Description\n\nMatt Mays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 775020760226\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0775020760226\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45714398904579,"sku":"QR-1KZG-57BK","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51cUVLH-7iL.jpg?v=1720531733","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/when-the-angels-make-contact","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
