It opens with the stirring Where Could I Go But To The Lord, which is followed by the title track, which is thematically similar to the well-known Swing Low Sweet Chariot. The third one, the rhythmic If I Be Lifted Up, reminds me of her version of Orphan Girl on the album Wrecking Ball, in its comforting lyrics. The non-traditional When He Calls with its lovely instrumental flourishes is a definite highlight. The lilting We Shall Rise is another, together with If I Be Lifted Up the most uptempo numbers among these generally slow ballads.
There is seamless continuity between the traditional and the non-traditional compositions like Someday My Ship Will Sail and The Other Side Of Life. The album concludes with the uplifting When They Ring Those Golden Bells. Angel Band is an album of tender and yearning hymns, mournful and comforting at the same time. Those who love Emmylou’s bluegrass excursions like the album Roses In The Snow, will love this neglected classic.
The opening number, Lena’s Song is a tuneful slice of folk with lovely imagery. At over 5 minutes each, On The Mountain and Destroyer are exceptions to the rule. The second is perhaps the closest to Gira’s gloomy explorations, reminiscent of certain songs on Love Of Life and Great Annihilator. The Sound Of Freedom, God Loves America and Blood Promise come to mind.
Perhaps a sequel to Celebrity Lifestyle on Annihilator, Michael’s White Hands has an edgy beat, dissonant texture and shouted vocals, and is the most intense excursion on the album. The next one, To Live Through Someone, is a slow and fragile ballad with moving lyrics, whilst the brief Simon Is Stronger Than Us is almost like a chant, powerful and evocative.
Imagine a blend of Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed’s story songs about friends and acquaintances and you will have an idea of the feel of Other People. The album compares well with AoL’s earlier work, but I miss the magnificent swirling build-ups of masterpieces like Public Embarrassment Blues, Angels Of Light or Two Women.
Although obscure by comparison, Michael Gira is in the same league as artists like Richard Thompson, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Cohen and Reed. He also has the deepest, most sombre voice of them all! Fans of the aforementioned ought to investigate his work in Angels Of Light and on the later Swans albums.
