What The Hell Am I Listening to?!?

Evangelicals (Norman, Oklahoma)



I think right now if I had to pick my favourite album to come out this year, it would probably be Evangelicals' second album, The Evening Descends. It is so psychedelic and so operatic. This is one of those albums where I get excited as each new song begins. The kaleidoscopic sonic journey certainly gives a nod to fellow Oklahomans The Flaming Lips as well as many other folks, but the last thing you could accuse this band of is being unoriginal with its mix of influences. If you haven't rocked this one yet, don't delay any longer:

Skeleton Man

Beck (Los Angeles, Ca)



Beck is one of my favourite musicians and every time I return to one of his albums, I fall in love with what he does all over again. I recently picked up a copy of the Deluxe Odelay, and have been partying like its 1996. I have really enjoyed the Deluxe reissues I have picked up over the years as they are always full of fun extras, but I have to say this may be the best Deluxe album version I've got yet in terms of bonus material. Very much worth purchasing:
