Vorhex Angel

Vorhex Angel features both members of JEFF The Brotherhood and longtime collaborator Kunal Prakash. Not much has been revealed about Vorhex Angel in terms of intentions or influences. They have no social media presence. Sonically, they cover a range: There’s the damaged, and then there is the even more damaged. In one way or another, all of the music takes cues from a large trove of Japanese noise rock—Les Rallizes Dénudés, High Rise, White Heaven—and uses those influences as a jumping off point for improvisation. Is Vorhex Angel a jam band? Maybe if you swap out the Allman Brothers for Acid Mothers Temple. What we do know: These are lifers fully off the leash, unburdened by the structures of industry, making music as free as a seraphic being floating above a stack of amps in a dive bar.

Their latest record, Drain, is out now on Soul Selects.
