Alabama Shakes is a band of unassuming wonder and mesmerizing candor. In 2012 they spilled the coolest beans with their (Boys & Girls) release. We know the carnage their collective artistry waged; left us drunk on lust and languid. We were loved and tossed, lovingly bruised, and in the end left spent, yet still groping under the covers for one more warm feel. We now know Britney Howard as a bonafide soul woman, a southern rock goddess personified and a lyrical groit with solar powered lungs that’ll fuck you up if your ears can’t hold your their auricular liquor.

Here we are in 2015 and living through AB‘s follow-up Sound & Color album, and as we listen our way through it we are once again rewarded with gooey and spectacularly sensate songs with enough variation and dexterity as to leave us defenseless and overdosing (once again) on the beautiful splendor of it all. Strung out notes pelt listeners and we are bade to feel almost too much. We get caught up in the tumult of songs dug out from under rusty hearts and hurt and slightly warped minds. Certainly Sound & Color is a wild ride and we’ve come to all on the chin quite well. Peace.
