Evangelicals
The Evening Descends
Dead Oceans Records [2008]
Fire Note Says: Super-psychedelic sophomore record offers something new and fresh!
Album Review:If you are looking for something a bit outside your normal alt listening then
Oklahoma’s Evangelicals is the band for you. On their sophomore record
The Evening Descends the band continues down the same reverb psychedelic road they started on their ear opening debut
So Gone [2006]. It is very easy to compare them to their OK state buddies Flaming Lips because they do present the same swagger and experimental risk but take the listener more into the music side of their compositions than catching them with a memorable hook. The Evangelicals attack you from all different sides with sudden tempo changes, explosions of noise, and vocal swirling which certainly will catch you off-guard but at the same time it is exactly what you want them to do. So if you are ready to take a listening experience risk and enter the crazy gospel according to the Evangelicals then I believe that
The Evening Descends could easily become your new favorite record.
Key Tracks: "Party Crashin'", "Skeleton Man", "How Do You Sleep?"
