Blackwater Prophet Album Release, Spirit Animals, Bullets & Balloons

Throw whatever you thought you knew about Blackwater Prophet out the window. The local rockers, buzzing for a couple of years now, started to take their three-piece gig seriously before they were named a 2014 Inlander Band to Watch. With a new album titled Ghost, the crew has left their dirty, sludgy quality behind in favor of clear-as-night, bluesy rock ‘n’ roll. “Dig My Hole in the Ground,” the last track on the eight-song disc, pulls even further away from their usual image — mostly acoustic guitars pair perfectly with Garrett Zanol’s heart-wrenching vocals.
