Retribution Gospel Choir

Add Date: January 12

Artist: Retribution Gospel Choir

Album: 2

Label: Sub Pop

Genre: Rock, psych rock

Comments: Retribution Gospel Choir is Alan Sparhawk's outlet for making bona fide rock music--something that he rarely gets to do with his other band, experimental pop masters Low. RGC's Sub Pop debut, 2, is a fine collection of psychedelia-laced rock songs. Many of them are poppy and upbeat, including killer lead track "Hide It Away," "Poor Man's Daughter" and "Your Bird"; others are drawn-out psych jams, like "Electric Guitar." All are very good.
