ABOUT THIS ITEM

"EVOL" was Sonic Youth's fourth album, significant for one fairly obvious reason: the addition of Steve Shelley behind the kit. Steve joined the band in mid 1985, and this is the first album he plays on. "EVOL" also features the first real 'guest appearance' on a Sonic Youth album - Mike Watt, who contributes bass to "In The Kingdom #19" and the non-LP bonus track "Bubblegum". This was a true discordant classic album containing masterpieces such as "Star Power", "Tom Violence" and the epic whirlwind of noise "Expressway To Your Skull".
