2

To all intents and purposes, Retribution Gospel Choir is all about Low frontman Alan Sparhawk escaping the expectations of his day job and getting his rocks off. 2 (naturally enough) is their second record and it sounds like a natural follow up to its predecessor. It’s a massive sounding record full of big, diet-Sabbath riffs and Percy Plant-like melody lines, and while there isn’t much in the way of advancement of sound on the record, it does tweak the RGC formula a little and is a welcome addition to Sparhawk’s already impressive body of work.
