The Fat Angel Sings

Jessica Jalbert is the brains behind the Edmonton band Faith Healer, whose music is like a cross section of ’60s psychedelia and lo-fi bedroom recordings. Jalbert’s voice is understated yet bold, and it fits like a glove over tracks that range from Byrds-esque jangles to garage rock freak-outs. On “Canonized,” the newest track from the band’s upcoming “Cosmic Troubles” LP, we get a sampler of the many flavors that Faith Healer is capable of pulling off. It moves flawlessly between an ominous prog-rock verse and a chorus that explodes in fizzy guitars and retro backing vocal “ahs.” The whole thing feels like your acid is kicking in right as the sun cuts through the rain clouds.
