As anyone who can differentiate the letter "n" from the letter "l" can figure out, Norman, Oklahoma is not normal. This unassuming Oklahoma City satellite town has a noble tradition of eccentrics that take a Silly Putty approach to pop music: Chainsaw Kittens, Starlight Mints, and of course, the Flaming Lips. Say hello to the new kids in town: Evangelicals, whose wonderfully warped debut album, So Gone (Misra), reels recklessly through the years-- 1970s AM radio gold sounds, twee 80s Britpop, abrasive 90s American indie-rock, and contemporary beard-folk-- and yields a disoriented, dislocating sense of time and space. Until last year, Evangelicals existed only in the excitable mind of 24-year-old songwriter Josh Jones, but have since fortified into a trio (featuring multi-instrumentalist Kyle Davis and drummer Austin Stephens) that will spend the better part of this year on the road spreading the gospel (including a fall tour with Serena Maneesh). Pitchfork contacted an apologetically phlegmy Jones to discuss the happy accidents and unhappy circumstances that went into making So Gone so good.
