Slumberland Records: Lunchbox “Evolver” reissue coming soon
Lunchbox Reissue Lost 00s album Evolver
Lunchbox‘s legendary lost album Evolver is lost no more! Sparklingly remastered for the album’s twentieth (and a few!) anniversary and available on CD, cassette and (for the first time) vinyl, this psychedelic masterpiece fills a crucial hole in the band’s discography. Recorded in the couple’s 1990s Oakland basement between stays in Berlin, tour dates in London, and dreamy sojourns up the rugged Mendocino coastline, Evolver fuses jangle and jungle, ambient and dub into a striking pop statement.
Marrying refined songcraft to the serendipitous magic hidden in half-broken reel-to-reel tape decks and vintage synthesizers, the Evolver plants its pop flag on the terrain of magic and mystery. Dreamy jangle pop gems emerge seamlessly out of a sea of loops, drones, and dubbed-out horn fanfares, cascades of tape echo feedback and whispers from outer space providing a trance-inducing backdrop to the pop sensibility for which Lunchbox is well-known. Hook-filled and hypnotic, Evolver is a sublime slice of post-pop psychedelia that you won’t want to miss.
For this special and long-overdue reissue we’ve raided the bands vaults for three previously unreleased tunes that add extra dimensions to the album’s uniquely trippy flow. And for the vinyl heads we’re pressing this as a double LP for maximum fidelity and playability, including a *vinyl-only* fourth side of beats, loops, interludes and puzzling aural ephemera, all taken directly from the original master tapes. Super cool!
