Two years after her successful tribute to the blues queens of the 1920s on Countin’ The Blues, unique Italian one woman band Elli de Mon (vocals, guitars, lap steel, sitar, dilruba, organ, drums) returns with provocatively titled full-length Pagan Blues. By now you know what to expect – primordial blues meets raw garage rock – and the nine songs here do not disappoint. Both musically and vocally the new album is tough, dark, authentic and intense. It may be inspired by music from 100 years ago, but this is blues for the future.
Pagan Blues is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP through Area Pirata.
