"In 2021, UK-LA trio Gabriels' two EPs gifted us astonishing songs such as "Innocence", choir director Jacob Lusk's eaves-shaking vocals spotlit in a sparse orchestral setting that invoked the holy dread of foundational 1940s rhythm and blues. This release - last year's debut album, Angels & Queens Part 1, buttressed by six newer songs - is just as extraordinary. Lusk, with bandmates Ryan Hope and Ari Balouzian, reassembles elements of R&B's past into fascinating new forms, pin-sharp digital production creating pleasurable dissonance with the analogue velvet of Lusk's voice".
