Evangelicals - So Gone

So Gone is so fucking here that it's astounding. It's My Morning Jacket and The Flaming Lips channeled through Cap'n Jazz, or Jeff Mangum fronting Broken Social Scene while on crack and acid, or a hundred other bloated comparisons I could make that truly do none of the parties involved justice. But as Evangelicals hail from Oklahoma, the Lips reference is near-unavoidable, and So Gone plays on the neo-psychedelic pop and florid arrangements that aren't quite as adroitly executed by many of Evangelicals contemporaries. Sometimes floating, sometimes tearing through the flower bed on the way to the bird bath, So Gone is a masterful debut. Download "Here Comes Trouble" Download "Another Day" [www.misrarecords.com]
