In my review of Archangel Voices first album, I mentioned their obvious talent, but also the problems I heard. They have clearly fixed those problems. Their sound is no longer nervous and unsure, but comfortable, refined, and precise. The voices blend beautifully, but also stand out when the time is right.

Archangel Voices are on a path to becoming a world class small ensemble.
