Weirdos Now Have New Poster Boys: Evangelicals

[MP3] Evangelicals - Skeleton Man [MP3] Headlights - Cherry Tulips What is it about Oklahoma that breeds crazy weird jacked up and absolutely amazing psychadelic pop bands like Evangelicals? I downloaded the "Skeleton Man" from Stereogum a few days ago and can't stop listening to it. Psych Pop seems to be my sub genre of the month. "Skeleton Man" has a fantastic intro which is bound to be used in a commercial by the end of the year. You absolutely must check this band out. Evangelicals will be releasing their new album The Evening Descends next Tuesday via Dead Oceans. The band will be hitting the road this spring with Headlights in support of the release. LA fans can catch the 4 piece Mar 19th at the Silverlake Lounge. I can tell you right now this show is going to be packed to the gills.
