An Angel Fell

The line-up was Ackamoor on saxophone, Sandra Poindexter on violin, David Molina on guitar, Skyler Stover on double bass, Bradie Speller on congas and Johann Polzer on drums, with the whole band singing; Songlines calls it a five-piece and others six. Ackamoor said he wanted to use folklore, fantasy and drama as a warning bell, addressing climate change and environmental neglect and loss of innocence. Aquarium Drunkard describes a song cycle touching Hurricane Katrina, the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown and the Standing Rock Water Protectors. Songlines gave it 4 of 5, calling it a rich, positive and playful album; London Jazz News heard dub reggae, Afro-Cuban, psychedelic rock and free jazz. The cover is hand painted by Lewis Heriz.
