Decline of the West, Vol. I & II

by Holy Sons

supported by

giventofly87 Truly just a deep dive into psychedelic melancholy - Emil has this magical ability to transform moodiness to transendence, and does so with a strange sparseness. It's just a really lovely album, with amazing covers, lots of off-ramps into weirdness, but above all a perfect soundtrack to drift through the day with. Favorite track: Things You Do While Waiting For The Apocalypse.

bassinspace Yet another album of pure gold from Emil Amos / Holy Sons. Feral Kid is my favorite track. It strikes a deep chord deep within. Me too Emil, me too! Other absolute diamonds on this album are Gnostic Device, Slave Morality, Evil Falls, Things You Do While Waiting for the Apocalypse and I'm Healed.

This is a man who knows. The line that states "So good to be back, so good to be real" Wow, if you know, then you know. If you don't know then you'd better find out. Favorite track: The Feral Kid.

Joseph Prat This album is so beautiful and timeless. I could listen to it for days on end, and I have. Thank you Emil Amos, you are a living saint. Favorite track: Nature’s Way.
