The way songs can strike a chord within a person is quite a feeling. It could be a simple thought or even something you see that can make a song bloom into something else all together. As I woke today on a gloomy Southern California day, there was instantly an album that felt perfect. As I listened to it and got to the end, the final song struck the day as though it was it’s soundtrack. It’s quite fitting too as this album celebrates it’s tenth anniversary this year. The song is “Apocalypse Morning” by The Black Queen from their debut album, Fever Daydream. Every time I put this album on, I get completely swept away by it. The mood and vibe it presents and gives as you listen is astounding. Seriously, Fever Daydream is a truly visceral album that will sweep you away in the best of ways. “Apocalypse Morning” as an end of album song is a treat. The mellow and delicate nature feels soothing and calming. This is one of those songs too that feels like a perfect transition into a new dimension be it in your mind or physically. Greg Puciato’s vocals throughout the album truly shine. Each word is sung in such a passionate way that each song has it’s own special place on the album. “Apocalypse Morning” though, is a great way to end this sensational debut album that ten years later now is still just as good as it was when released.
