NOTHING FEELS NATURAL | PRIESTS

5.12.17 An assumption was made by this writer when seeing this album cover. Must be like the Pixies. Having listened through a few times I would say this post punk D.C. band certainly have Pixiesque elements. There are sounds from Joy Division amongst others sprinkled in this salad of influence.  Nothing Feels Natural is a real compelling album all the way through.

Allmusic: The creative leap that Priests make from the Bodies and Control and Money and Power EP to their first full-length Nothing Feels Natural is reflected in the titles of both works: Bodies spelled out society's ills with literal (and literate) rants, but this time, Priests use a more poetic, existential approach to express these frustrations. When nothing feels right, change is a natural response, and the band uses the space afforded by a full-fledged album to introduce more sounds . . .
