EVOLFO
Brooklyn, NY
https://evolfo.bandcamp.com/
If the Brooklyn-based pysch rockers felt pressured to repeat the successes of their 2017 album Last of the Acid Cowboys they certainly didn’t show it. One might think a band that racked up 6 million plus streams on their debut record would try to recreate this by doing more of the same. But when the 7 members of Evolfo piled into the tiny, sweltering, attic-turned-recording studio of band leader Matt Gibbs’ Ditmas Park home, they intended to step confidently forward into fresh sounds and more vivid conceptual subject matter. They have flipped the world of the Acid Cowboy on its head, departing the earth bound adventures in melting landscapes, rat cities, and desert sojourns for metaphysical territory and the mountains of the mind. “We’re always going to be in a state of flux,” says Gibbs, who formed the group a decade ago, “I consider this to be an exciting, positive thing. We have to embrace our own change.” On their brand new album Site Out of Mind, Evolfo reaches far beyond the confines of genre to create a colorful echo drenched psych rock dream all their own. Adorned with a mind bending cover by visual artist Robert Beatty, the result is a collection of songs that are unexpected, absorbing, and blissfully tripped out.
PEARIE SOL
Washington, DC

THUNDERPAW
Washington, DC
https://thunderpaw.bandcamp.com/
Thunderpaw is a band based out of Washington, DC powered by dark, dream-like vocals and haunting, analog synth lines interwoven with expansive synthetic textures and understated guitars. Including an ever-evolving roster of long-time musical friends and guest vocalists, the group is headed by Rob ‘Kalani’ Tifford, a former industry exec for Thievery Corporation and ESL Music, front man for Sunwolf, former bassist of Midnight Kids, and captain of now-defunct Gypsy Eyes Records. Thunderpaw released their first album, The Land of Forbidden Knowledge, in 2019, followed by Aeon Long Death of This Untrodden Astral World, which was released a week before Quarantine in March 2020.
The band's latest project, the "Wabi Sabi" series, is a a collection of more than 50 imperfect song sketches and demos recorded each week for an entire year of pandemic lock-down. 12 tracks will move into final production in 2022 follow the creation of the band's first DAO structure as an experiment in adopting Web3 technologies for a brighter future for music.
