This wholly demented ensemble from Norman, OK dabbles in glam, slips in a little funk and soul, drinks the psychedelic Kool-Aid, blasts the synth cranks up their guitars and wraps it all up with a dose of pop smarts. Picking up where their 2006 debut SO GONE left off, Evangelicals leave behind much of their ADD-addled approach, instead of taking their wealth of great ideas and harnessing them for good. The hyperactive, overdriven pop is still here, but is balanced with restraint. Josh Jones' wild narratives and propulsive pop songs are anchored with the right balance of stoicism and wit by the bass and drums.

Dabbling in glam, slipping in a little funk and soul, drinking the psychedelic Kool-aid, blasting the synthesizer, cranking up the guitars, and wrapping it all up with a dose of pop smarts, the Evening Descends is the first great album of 2008. Evangelicals' 'The Evening Descends' just might be Oklahoma's answer to Prince's 'Around the World in a Day', but from the perspective of someone crashing at Pee-Wee's Playhouse, who happens to have a chainsaw slowly gnawing through his leg. 'The Evening Descends' is crazy, self-assured and above all, a totally wild ride. 'The Evening Descends' is full of the bands prodigious musical skill: The deft guitar work, the clever pop sensibility and the wild arrangements.
