Finally following up the 2002 debut, 'We Are Night Sky' sees Dax Riggs' celestial visions in another new light. More sparse than the debut, with a more compact lineup, 'We Are Night Sky' ranges from primitive rock to sparse acoustic laments, with Dax's soul-melting voice and eerie themes backed by drummer Tess's soft vocal harmonies. One of the greatest songwriters and voices of our times, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on to this very special musical entity.
Still breathing Dax Riggs, leader of Deadboy and the Elephantmen, is hands-down one of rock's most underrated vocalists and songwriters from the past decade. He does have his die-hard fans, though, going back to his days with Louisiana swamp-metal mongrels Acid Bath, in the mid-'90s, and, more recently, with the short-lived Agents of Oblivion, whose self-titled 2000 release was a masterpiece of soaring, melancholy hard rock. Deadboy's first album, the self-released If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky, was a continuation of Agents of Oblivion's Ziggy Stardust-isms, but their new Fat Possum debut, We Are Night Sky, is a whole 'nother story. Riggs ditched the original lineup, recasting the band as a stripped-down duo of just him (on guitar and vocals) and newcomer Tessie Brunet on tambourine-rattling drums and backing vocals. It's a radical makeover, but the album's better moments strike the same lonesome, longing chords that Riggs has been hypnotizing us with for years – it's just a little quieter.
