Untitled #23 by The Church

Untitled #23 is a Rock album by The Church, originally released in 2009. On Gatefold: 8 pressings tracked.

About

Almost three decades into their career, Australian guitar-pop mavens The Church sound as vibrant as ever on their 23rd release, channeling classic psychedelia and serving up fresh ideas with a blissful twist. Guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes generate kaleidoscopic textures over a quietly propulsive beat on “Deadman’s Hand.” The atmospheric keyboards and acoustic guitar of “On Angel Street” evoke Pink Floyd, while “Space Saviour” strikes a brilliant balance, with dreamy organs and guitars billowing behind crashing drums and Steve Kilbey’s aching vocals.
