San Francisco-based duo Seventeen Evergreen are set to release their next EP, Psyentist, on December 6th after a nearly five-year hiatus. The Psyentist EP is a four-track experiment in pop sounds, and Caleb Pate explains that the reverb-heavy track "Angel," which incorporates harp strings, is a "fantasy pinnacle, a love out of reach, a delusional silver screen frozen in nothing-time. This song goes out to those unlucky in love. Dreamers finish last... or first? But still don't get him, completely."

Seventeen Evergreen's Psyentist EP will be available on December 6th, but you can download "Angels" for free here.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
