Darya Great to see new stuff from Jonathan Favorite track: SA.

heywoodfloyd Hope you're planning on playing in San Antonio soon.

pmoods87 Lovely. The whole album works perfectly. Kinda spooky sounding for Jonathan! I like how dark some of this is. Always interesting to see what direction he goes in Favorite track: My Love She Is From Somewhere Else.

nolansharkey I just love Jonathan's work and have done for a long while. The new albums just get better and better. Would love to see him back in Australia :-)

about

"SA the root note in Indian ragas was what Ramakrishna, the much
beloved mystic, told his spiritual students to search for underneath
all things of this world."

Coriky
by Coriky

supported by 39 fans who also own “SA”

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself. violetstain
