The Spell is by far my favorite album by The Black Heart Procession. Anytime a band releases something that lands in that "favorite" category, I always want more of the same instead of something new. Six is mostly something new, with some more recognizable stuff thrown in as well. The big change in sound is a shift to more of a Tom Waits vibe for the first half of the album, especially in the bass lines and slightly more upbeat tempos. All good stuff but a very different feel from the last few albums. The songs on the last half are more familiar and feel more in line with The Spell or Amore Del Tropico.
It's still growing on me & hasn't left my car since I picked it up. Always a good sign.
