Album Review: Harry James Angus - Struggle With Glory: I Saw Red

Best known as the trumpet player and occasional vocalist for The Cat Empire, Harry James Angus has taken a side-step from his day job with the release of the Struggle With Glory:  I Saw Red EP.

Leaning heavily on gospel and jazz, the four-track release is as much a time machine to a previous generation as it is a landmark solo release.

While it is theatrical at times through songs such as I Saw Red and Struggle With Glory, it's opener Kill The Priest that's the high-point with its big band sound. It's a departure from The Cat Empire and a positive step forward for Angus.
