Our Take

The debut album from the enigmatic duo Sons of Raphael, "Full-Throated Messianic Homage," is a wild ride through a whirlwind of genres and influences. With nods to everyone from Bowie to Gainsbourg, the pair manage to create a sound that is uniquely their own while paying tribute to the greats that came before them.

From the opening track, "A Billion Heartbeats," to the haunting closer, "Dionysia," Sons of Raphael take listeners on a journey through their own twisted minds, with lyrics that are as poetic as they are cryptic. The production on the album is top-notch, with lush arrangements and a healthy dose of experimentation that keeps things fresh and exciting throughout.

But what truly sets Sons of Raphael apart is their infectious energy and sense of fun. Tracks like "Revolution" and "Whimsical Hero" are guaranteed to get even the most stoic of listeners up and dancing, while the slower, more introspective moments on the album showcase the duo's emotional depth and maturity.

"Full-Throated Messianic Homage" is a bold statement from Sons of Raphael, and one that cements their status as one of the most exciting acts in music today. Here's to many more albums of genre-bending, mind-bending brilliance from this dynamic duo.
