The Evanstones - 1961 CD (Sharawaji) 

Blending surf, instro, spy, and spaghetti western and wrapping it in an eye-catching retro-futuristic album cover, this Seattle based combo has surpassed the heights achieved through their previous release Music From The Last Band On Earth. With this new 13 song release they have what might just shape up to be one of the top 10 releases of 2020. This is quite an amazing album - the production and performances by all members is spot on. The songs are melodic, moody at times, and fit a variety of scenarios - if you want straight-up surf you’ll find that, but there are also tunes that seem straight out of a 50’s or 60’s b-movie, or grainy old spaghetti western. Twelve of the songs are originals, but they throw in a really fun version of the theme from The Magnificent Seven in the middle as a bonus. Comes with a free band logo sticker!
