With an intricate yet deliciously catchy electric riff, Tillerman throw you into ‘Hear Angels Cry’ with a mood setting that immediately soothes you. The sombre and melancholic lyrics bely a slightly more inspirational and hopeful arrangement. Discussing, and rather lamenting the problems that the world faces with political unrest, extremism, and more, Tillerman’s classic rock inspired tune decries all that’s wrong with a classic blues rock ballad that harkens back to the sounds of the 70s with such clarity and consistency.
Incorporating an absolutely sizzling electric riff and vocal harmonies that uplift you in times of darkness, the sombreness is somehow undercut by the arrangements more innately optimistic sound. All in all, the sheer lusciousness of the instrumental set up all around makes this an absolutely thrilling ride to engage in. The guitar work is exemplary from the first riff to the last solo and the harmonies constantly have you joining for a sing along. For any classic rock fan, this is a statement to show you that the genre is far far away from fading away.
