Opinion: Average
Is there some antiquated state law forcing every band from Oklahoma to emulate the Flaming Lips? Norman's Evangelicals have taken that neon-lit ball and smoked out with it. Opening with the space tripped title track, The Evening Descends quickly snowballs into a confusing asteroid belt of otherworldly sounds and creepy arrangements. The touring quartet's sophomore effort is replete with odd effects, dialogue, and a deft pop sensibility.
