Priest=Aura is the eighth studio album by Australian alternative rock
band The Church. The album was named after front man Steve Kilbey’s
misreading of a Spanish fan’s English vocabulary notes (since ‘priest’
is translated as ‘cura’ in Spanish). It is the first record they recorded
with drummer Jay Dee Daugherty, famous for his work with Patti Smith.
His addition to the band brought a fresh, almost jazz-like sound to their
music. The album was heavily influenced by psychedelic rock and
dream pop, and features the songs “Dome”, “Ripple” and “Feel”. Both
the band as well as their fans consider Priest=Aura to be an artistic high
point for The Church. |
