But that’s not a bad thing on the band’s new CD. The Black Angels couldn’t be more obviously ’60s retro if they came out wearing nehru jackets, tie-dyed T-shirts and beads. Shake Your Peace’s tours rely on human-powered transportation, so catching them live is a difficult but entirely rewarding task.
The dreamy tune “Thinking of You All Day” provides a romantic, lilting counterpoint to this protest song. “Juss a Little Bit Mo,” the first track, is a euphoric bohemian ode to young love a theme that is beautifully expounded upon in “In the Arms of the Gypsy.” The album audaciously discusses the freedom of speech in “To Protest the War,” an almost a cappella street song. “Sing it as You Please,” the band’s only album, is sans copyright and available for free download for the band believes that is the moral way to create music. Shake Your Peace is a troupe of ecologically minded peacenicks capable of creating exultant music that is charmingly sloppy.
